This coming week I’ll be jaunting around the Baltic Sea to Tallinn, Stockholm, and Copenhagen, so I want to write about my first ever African experience before my absence. I had the amazing opportunity to stay in Marrakech, Morocco for three days and it was everything that I expected and more. Coming from Lisbon, it […] The post African Soil appeared first on 3 Guys In Africa.
Sorry that it has been so long since our last blog post, but Mike has been in Europe and the two of us are working hard to graduate (not really, but we’ll pretend). For the nice long drives we’ll be doing, of course we need some great tunes for the road! Our Discovery has […] The post Some Hot Tunes for the Road appeared first on 3 Guys In Africa.
It’s been a long week, but it’s been fruitful here in the Middle East. WE HAVE A VEHICLE!!! A beautiful golden Land Rover Discovery 1999! We decided a Discovery would be the best option for a bunch of reasons, availability of spare parts, price, and performance being a few – and we got lucky! After […] The post Piece from the Middle East! appeared first on 3 Guys In Africa.
Today me and my right-hand man, Michael, drove on up to the local CAA store in Sarnia and got ourselves some International Driving Permits – which we’ll be needing to drive our vehicle in many of the countries on the trip. It only took about 20 minutes and cost just under $40, so we’re ready […] The post International Driving Permits appeared first on 3 Guys In Africa.
So as of right now we’re just trying to decide on what kind of vehicle we want to purchase for the trip, and where we’re going to buy it. We’re leaning towards a Land Rover Discovery (1994-1999), before they changed the engine, and are thinking of buying it in Dubai and having it shipped to […] The post A Brief Update – Africa appeared first on 3 Guys In Africa.

Some friends I met in Mazatlan who have been on the road for 7 years on their bikes, gave me a short list of their faves for Mexico and Central America. At first they were pretty insistent that they wouldn’t… Read More ›
After spending the night in Chetumal and getting some mail picked up at a local post office (thank you, Ruben!) we head for the border. I have no idea how long it will take to cross over. We have read… Read More ›

If you live in the USA, and you’ve heard of a city in Mexico, it’s likely that town is a tourist town. Otherwise in the States we probably wouldn’t have heard of it. And I’ve definitely heard of Puerto Vallarta,… Read More ›
After retracing about 50 miles of road from Puerto Vallarta, and passing some pineapple and corn fields, we turn northeast. I’m back in Nayarit State and wind through the low mountains by tracing soft turns up hillsides and then down… Read More ›
Every day is market day in Mazatlan….at least from the looks of the Mercado and the surrounding city blocks. It is a daily part of life here, this going to market for fresh food for your meals – meat, grains,… Read More ›
