Check-Ins

Good place for one night. You can see cars on the road, but it' quiet.

Open, access road in good shape, no signs! Quiet beach, can drive on the beach west to Cameron and east to Rutherford. Great cell service, no other amenities.

Great place to change oil and filters of your engine. They have all type of oil and parts. It was great for our french Toyota Hilux. Oil 5w30. You pay each liter. Oil change service is free. They are super friendly and give great advise. No apointment required. Very quick. I paid 143.000 for 7 liters of good oil + change of 4 filters (gasoil, oil, air and for A/C).

Super endroit pour changer l'huile et les filtres de votre moteur. Ils ont tout type d’huile et de pièces. C'était super pour notre Toyota Hilux français. Huile 5w30. Vous payez chaque litre. Le service de vidange d’huile est gratuit. Ils sont super sympas et donnent de très bons conseils. Aucun rendez-vous requis. Très rapide. J'ai payé 143.000 pour 7 litres de bonne huile + changement de 4 filtres (gasoil, huile, air et pour A/C)

Is open....
There were a lot of happy yong people coming and leaving. the owner is very kind.
comunit kitchen.

The only problem is the buses that start honking after 4:00 am throughout the town. the noise is maddening. Lack of respect for travelers and residents...

Ils ont les égouts mais l’eau ne fonctionne pas.

just an amazing place for swimming and resting. No cell service. Steep track to get here. 4x4 and low gear mandatory

Nice Lodge near the Road
20000 for Double Bed room.
Nice & super clean Room with Mosquito Net, Fan and hot Shower.

Muy bonito lugar increíble vista a la Laguna ideal para traer tu lancha o kayak es el paraíso. Cuenta con Baños y regaderas y wifi. Una buena opción !!!

Port in Monkey Bay to buy tickets. MV Ilala is departing every Friday 8.00 am. 1 class cabin for 2 persons to Chilumba is 39200 Kwacha per person. And yes, they take motorbikes on board, at least small ones. For any questions and reservations send a mail to [email protected]. She is very helpful and you get a quick answer.

Small sandy beach near the river, not very far from main road. You can fishing here. Very good for rest during the day, during the night should be litlle bit noisy, because of the main road.

Un lugar súper bonito agradable sin molestias de nada con una increíble vista a la laguna algo super recomendado para un día de relajación o para botar tu lancha y tu kayak.

Premises B, 197 Namgolo Mbumba Drive
WalvisBay. Namibia

We arrive here on Wednesday afternoon and we camp with tent in the garden close to the swimming pool . 240pesos in total for tent and 2 people.
We park our car just outside of the garden in front of us.
swimming pool, toilet and outside shower included
The Wi-Fi is working well.
The place is about poorly maintained. But was working for us, we stop there just as a last night in Mexico before crossing in Guatemala.
We eat on the restaurant just in front on the side of the beach, and was great. They make me a very nice vegan plate for 130 pesos.
The beach is huge, the waves very big and water no so clean.

This is an update on my check in from yesterday. Had a good night. No issues. But after rereading a check in from 2023/11/12 that mentions an animal carcass behind the big rock, I wanted to warn others who stop here. I was walking my dog last evening and took a route around the far back corner to the west of the rest area. Someone has had a fire on the road there. I noticed a largish white thing at the base of a tree. Thinking it was garbage, only to discover a large dead dog. Disturbing to say the least. I did not investigate further. Poor thing either dumped there or possibly dumped then hit by a car?? But after the other report of a dead animal here, I’d be concerned if this is some creeps dumping ground for animals. Who do you report this to?? I am from Canada and would call the RCMP or the SPCA. But have no idea about here.

A large levelled open area in the middle of the jungle next to Machuwasi lagoon. There are thrash bins and benches. We asked the guy that works at the lagoon down, and he said it was okay to stay here. Nobody around during the evening or next day. Wake up to the sounds of various exotic birds. Very cool place.

Loved this experience. Ride with your own little raft over a beautiful lagoon, to the ovservation tower where you have a nice view. It’s small but cool activity to do! Many different excotic birds.

The dump is reopened and still free. There is no potable water, though.

Free, flat and with dump, water and black waist. Excellent for a night stay or 2. Quiet with a pub close by !

TRUCK 12 TONES - FRENCH
WAY IRAN => ARMENIA

IRAN SIDE :
First when you cross the gate you will show all your documents and after that you take the way to the exit (all the office are at the exit gate). Park and go to the first office in the middle of lots of truck. He will check you cpd and passport. Behind this office there is an other office where they manage the stamp on your CPD. They ask copy of visa - passeport - CPD iran page - car document. You can do this copy in an other office 300m before they will show you where and it's free. After that go back to the cpd office and finish this. Next to this office you have to go to the passenger hall for your exit stamp. After that you are ready to go to the final check and cross the bridge. BUT they ask us at that final step the Petrol document ... just to bother us because everybody know that you don't have to pay diesel taxe ( maybe for commercial truck but not tourist..) . We ran everywhere but nobody want to give us this paper without a bank paiement ( from an iranian account of course .. ). So we were a bit upset about this situation so we go back to the CPD office and say to the manager that we have a problem with the police man on the exit gate .. finaly he come with us and say to this man that everything's is okay, we have cpd and we are tourist so no taxe for us and he let us go....

ARMENIAN SIDE :

First they check you passeport at the entrance. They check a bit inside but really fast. After that you have to go strait to the main building. Go counter 3/4 for the temporary import. They put all your information in the computer. When finish she give u a paper to pay at the bank the "ecologic taxe". The counter of the bank is just next and you have an ATM just behind. Total taxe : 9850 dram. Go back after pay to the counter 3/4. Then when finish paper go to Xray. BEWARE : WE SAW MANYYYY JERRICAN/TANK IN THE SIDE OF THE XRAY. WE THINK THAT YOU ARE NOT ALOWED TO TAKE DIESEL FROM IRAN TO ARMENIA...
We pass through the xray with some jerrican in our truck but they don't see it maybe we were lucky..
At the end of this point, drive to  the exit, last check and go out :)

Sim card : 5000 dram - 7 gb
Assurance on line : aswa.am : 3000 dram - 10 days

Very easy ferry. Show up and buy the ticket. Cars buy tickets 1-2km before the port but motorbikes buy tickets right at the port at a little booth. The ferry goes when it’s full. We paid 120bt for a sidecar and 2 people. Same process on the other side coming back to mainland Thailand.

Estacionamento do lado do Hotel Argentino, bem tranquilo para passar a noite com motorhome. Conversamos com um policial que disse que era tranquilo e permitido passar a noite. Não encontramos fonte de energia.

just off the highway take the dirt road behind the hill with the tower.
at the fork go right, the left side has some trash but the right side is nice, go past the road up to the towers and there's several nice level clean quiet areas.
warning, free range cows roaming about!
REALLY good cell service.. ..did I mention the tower!

border officer refused to sign my passport. It wasn't necessary. Stayed firm. I said I was feeling disrespected as a guest. he eventually gave it back.

Exit from Mexico with a USA vehicle , we been in Banjercito first, that is inside of the “officina Migración Mexico “ for get the deposit back.
The lady went outside to take picture of the vehicle and VIN.
We go back inside and we finish in 15 minutes.
After we been to the office in the same building to stamp passport for the exit. They want back the FMM form and the receipt.
they keep it.
We are ready to enter in Guatemala!

grand stationnement, arrêt d'autobus dans le stationnement.

aucune indication qu'il est défendu de rester pour la nuit

This nice restaurant on the side of the road has a big parking space behind (OK for big rigs) where you can stay overnight for free. Access to clean toilets and to water to refill the camper's tank. Very friendly and welcoming people. Great food!
