Oaxaca to Sto. Domingo Tehuantepec
19 October 2011Today was to be a 170 mile day, from Oaxaca to Juchitan, so we departed at 09:30. Got to Juchitan and couldn't get a hotel room due to a festival of some sort. So backgracked to Sto. Domingo Tehuantepec where we found a room at the Hotel Donaji Del Istmo. Secure parking, AC and Wi-Fi too. Had dinner at the hotel restaurant.
The day's ride was a real treat with fantastic twisties crossing the mountains to get to this side of the country. Had to keep a real close watch for pot holes as they are motorcycle killers.
Started the day at 68 degrees and when we crossed over the mountains it went to a very humid 87 degrees. Thus we sprung an extra 100p for AC.
Stopped along the road somewhere in the mountains for a tortilla lunch cooked over a fire. Cheese tortilla and a Coke came to 37p or $2.73.
