Mexico/Manzanillo Active vacation 2005
1-22
Beautiful mountain ridges falling off on both sides of the road – steep climbs for 5 to 10 km – crazy long, long down hills, very curvy road with periodic washouts and landslips narrowing the pavement to one lane or less. Brakes heat up, hands and feet are tired...road surface potholed and sticky tar into hot jungle sun, humidity and bountiful tropical flowers!
Met a Canadian couple (father-son) riding up so we stopped and exchanged stories and experiences. They are on a three month journey of Mexico, the son continuing to the tip of South America. We think we will meet up again somewhere down the road.
At the end of this challenging day of riding, we ended up in the town of Candelaria where we would find a hotel. What we found was an huespuedes (room) – a 2 roacher for $10 (about). It did have a hot shower but the cleanliness was way below our recent experience. We know that we are back into our journey once again.
