Mike and Jean landed safely in Vilhena at about 22:06:00 UTC after leaving Tabatinga at 12:49:34 UTC this morning, with a fuel stop at Porto Velho. Jean will hopefully be able to send the second part of his log (if they have internet where they will be staying) on the experience it was to start

Jean sent us a post reflecting on their journey from Panama City to just over the Andes. His second-half of their flight to Tabatinga will hopefully be posted by tomorrow.

What a great day it was today. Our super keen taxi driver was waiting for us outside the hotel and literally raced us to the private aircraft side of Acapulco Aeropeurto. At 5.30 am it was still 2 hours until sunrise – enough time for us to get through the paperwork. It works like this

While we did have some problems illiciting a decent response from Columbia, it now seems that that’s all in order.

Howdy, howdy, howdy…….I wish you were all here! In fact as I was strolling up from the beach to get a beer and then proceed to the business centre, I thought about an idea. It means so much to us that there are so many of you out there that follow our adventure and we
