We left Puerto Escondido yesterday around noon because I was out partying the night before until about 4 in the morning. I wandered the streets of Puerto Escondido and found that most places were almost empty but one spot was pretty happening. After being looked up-and-down by the bouncer and given the OK by the other bouncer as well they let me in.

After a beer or two I figured out I was the only tourist in there… everyone else was local and I got to practice my spanish quite a bit. Probably not the most intelligent conversation but hey… hehe…

After a few more Alexandra’s (a type of Mexican beer) in there I wandered up the street and ended up in a Karaoke place with all locals again singing all kinds of cool Mexican tunes I’ve never heard before. I was hanging out at the bar telling people in my very best spanish how I got to Puerto Escondido by motorcycle and that I was going to Peru or Bolivia always to a rolling-of-the-eyes motion :)

Anyway, the ride from Puerto to the next town (which I can’t remember what was called) was brilliant. Again, almost 200 miles of twisties with just brilliant pavement. Unbelievable!

We spent the night in what was probably the best hotel in town with secure parking for our super-cool bikes and left at 07:30 the next morning. More great roads and fantastic views going across a couple of mountains and we made it to San Cristóbal at around 14:00, walked around for a bit, got some Zapatista doll that we attached to our bikes and we’re ready to go to the Guatemalean border in the morning.

Pictures to follow, this PC is weird… :)

By the way, at the top of each post it’ll say who posted it… like ‘posted by andy’ or ‘posted by roar’.

Now I need a beer…
