Windmills and jungle

Monday, October 13, 2014
San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico
Day started with hotel breakfast Tom vowed to stop having cappuccino's as it was $38mx outrageous less than £2
Left Juchitan and followed the 190 again ruta 2010 long straight road this morning along the coastal plain and swap land although a lot was being reclaimed for agriculture although we could not see the sea. The whole plain was a massive wind farm (100's)

Out of the valley plain we climbed back into lush jungle the road climbs quickly giving great views back over the plain.

The last part of our journey today was a traffic jam in the clouds and rain. Trucks and mini buses competing at speed for the road, us in between. Mexican's will overtake anywhere.

Arrived San Cristobal early evening had researched a couple of hotels to look at if we could find them. Parked in the centre and went on a search, there is quite a selection, some in restored 16th century houses. Parking is a bit of an issue as most have places away from the hotel not ideal. It takes a while to find something that meets all requirements manage in the end which was good as we all needed a beer.

Unload and park the bikes right outside we are allowed to bring them into the reception area after 11pm perfect..
