First of all I need to apologise for the terrible pun in today’s blog post. However, this Southern Tier packing list might be perfect if you’re considering the ride.
After much preparation to cycle the Southern Tier, we have since pulled the pin and had to fly back to Australia. That said, the ten days of cycling we did achieve are still etched in my mind as a thrilling experience. This blog is a daily journal I kept at the end of each day.

Sad to be leaving Mexico, but excited to be entering our final country (on the world tour), we boarded our flight from Cabo San Lucas to San Francisco. Ready for all the sights, sounds and sea lions!
After a rather relaxing week and a half on the east, it was time to push on and head further south along the Baja California Sur peninsula. From here, we travelled south and then west!

I made a terrible mistake in Panama City! Other than sharing that with you, this post is all about the things we did with our time in this awesome city!
