little crossing very arid areas, almost
desert, until we reached Ensenada,
with a very interesting wine area that
we were told about by fellow local bik-
ers we’d met on the way.
Finally, the day arrived where we
had to face the road to Tijuana, and
thus the end of the trip.
A hurricane whirlwind of memo-
ries travelled through our minds. We
knew it was the last day of the route.
I calculated the total distance we had
travelled, and my hair stood on end;
over 65,000 kilometres, 18 countries
and many hours riding. A strange feel-
ing and difficult to explain.
We felt sad, melancholic, but at
the same time happy and proud. We
were tired and emotionally very lazy
for weeks. We even dreamed of see-
ing the kitchen paper from our par-
ents' house. We needed to return to
the arms of our loved ones and be on
familiar grounds after two years of
travel.
During all this time we had to adapt
to the situations that we came upon,
and we are happy and proud to have
solved them practically no scratches.
We have learnt a great deal, and with
it, we will cherish the memories, for-
ever in our souls. Now we put an end
to one of the best stages of our life and
dream that more are yet to come.
All beginnings must have an end,
and we are certain that when some-
thing ends new experience are about
to start. This is how it should be.
Closure of stages and new and unex-
plored roads open to you.
Some may call upon your attention
more than others. I do not speak only
about travel. I speak about challeng-
es, about illusions, about projects,
about dreams. All of this we feel when
something reaches the end. Without
doubt now is the time to let go and
look for the next destination … DP
