Hierve el agua
November 11, 2019 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Nach einer abenteuerlichen Fahrt über kurvenreiche Schotterstraßen den Berg hinauf erreichten mein Freund Ben und ich den versteinerten Wasserfall Hierve el agua. 30 Meter reichen die Felsformationen imposant den Abhang hinunter. Gesäumt von wunderschöner Talsicht kühlen wir uns nach der Erkundung in den natürlichen Infinitypools ab.

Das letzte Foto hab ich hier auf dem Wochenmarkt geschossen. Neben Fleischtheke und Gemüsestand kann man ja ruhig mal sein Baby baden 😅.Read more

Puebla - Oaxaca
November 24, 2019 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Nach einer kurzen Fahrt mit dem Bus landete ich in einem kleinen Städtchen namens Puebla, in welcher Deutschland seine Spuren hinterließ. Dort blieb ich eine Nacht um dann weiter 5 Stunden Richtung Oaxaca zu reisen. Schnaps Verkostung, Tacos, traditionell Mexikanische Musik und Stadtgebummel ist der jetzige Stand in Oaxaca.Read more

Monte Alban
November 25, 2019 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
Heute ging es auf einen kleinen Ausflug in die damalige Hauptstadt der Zapotheken. Mexico erinnert mich mittlerweile immer mehr an Indien, die Landschaft und die Verfassung der Gebäude oder auch die einzigartige Küche. Diese Nacht noch mach ich mich auf den Weg Richtung Puerto Escondido am Meer.Read more

Puerto Escondido
November 27, 2019 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Der zweite Tag im schönen Puerto bricht an und heute geht es ab zum Surfen. Der Strand is groß und unbesucht, das Essen fabelhaft, die Wellen heftig und das Klima heiß.
Besser kann es nicht sein...

Same same but different
December 21, 2019 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
Same highway, same amazing mountain views, but unfortunately more traffic and strong headwinds all day today. We also had to climb a lot on a rolling road in bad condition. So when we arrived in Asuncion Nochixtlan after 95km and over 1600m elevation gain, we were both pretty exhausted.
Nonetheless, we spend some time on the local market as we needed to buy food for dinner. It's actually great fun as we usually try out some local specialties we find during shopping. Usually, I talk to the vendors while Herbert has 2 tasks. One is to hand the vendors our own bags. In order to reduce the amount of plastic bags, we always reuse ours. However, the people here usually have some bags right next to them, so it's always a challenge to be quick enough handing ours to them before they already grab theirs. Herbert's second task is to carry the bags, so I have my hands free to check the quality of the fruits and vegetables. After many days of practice, we are now pretty good at market shopping I think.Read more

Oaxaca
December 22, 2019 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Today, we took the cuota to Oaxaca. It was a lot of rolling, but luckily more downhill than uphill. The only problem was the dirty shoulder we had to use. We were actually expecting at least one flat tyre again, but seems we were lucky. Along the highway, some Mexicans sold wooden toys, mainly trucks and cars. Interesting place to sell those kind of stuff we thought.
Once we arrived in Oaxaca, we were a bit shocked in a way. There were soooo many people, Mexicans as well as tourists. Hard to believe it's the same city I went to language school 13 years ago.... It's still a stunning place with colourful colonial architecture. And of course, we bumped into a parade again. After some exploring amd shopping in the market, we enjoyed a quiet meal in our hostel. We went for another walk into the centre when it was dark. It looked nice with all the lights, but after a while we decided it was too busy for us. What a difference to all the little villages we came passed the last few days.Read more

Changing plans
December 23, 2019 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
After our experience in Oaxaca, we changed our plans. Originally, we were going to see some tourist attractions around Oaxaca. But after we saw how many tourists were in the city, we decided to skip it and just go on. I have seen the places 13 years ago and neither of us enjoys sightseeing with a crowd of 1000+ people. The second change is concerning the route. We were going to go North from Oaxaca through the Sierra Norte to head into the state of Veracruz. But we talked to some people and they strongly advised us to take the Southern route through Chiapas in order to get to Palenque. So we are now on our way South towards the Pacific again. Along the highway 175, there are also some cabins, so we should fine a nice mountain retreat for Christmas. Today started well with a nice and easy ride through a high valley. Unfortunately, I had eaten something bad, so we had to stop in Ejutla after only 61km, as I couldn't go on. After some rest in a nice and clean hotel, I feel better again, so tomorrow I should be back on the bike.Read more

Christmas in the mountains
December 24, 2019 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Our Christmas started with a breakfast of dry bread - unfortunately the only bread we could get in town. At least it was filling, so we were ready to hit the road again. The first part of rolling and pretty exhausting. Plus, as a Christmas present, I got bit by one of the wild dogs - right in the ankle. (For some reason, dogs always go after me, never after Herbert) Luckily, the bite wasn't too deep, so it could be fixed with desinfection spray and plasters. What a start into the day...
However, it could only get better. Our route continued with a continuous climb up into the mountains. The views were amazing and not much traffic either. We had a lunch stop with a view - unfortunately with that dry bread again. But afterwards, it was only a few kilometers left to our destination: San Jose del Pacifico. It's a cute mountain village with some tourists, but not too many. We really like it and started with a beer on the sun deck, followed by a great Christmas dinner, the sunset and a final beer and regional chocolate in our cabin. Not a bad Christmas after all... Merry Christmas everyone!Read more

Vamos a la playa turistica
December 25, 2019 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
As we spent Christmas Eve in the mountains, we wanted to be at the coast on Christmas Day. The route was one of the best we've cycled so far. We passed tiny mountain villages, enjoyed stunning views and curvy downhills. So we stopped quite often to take photos. We also had some steep climbs in between, so in the end, it took us longer than expected to get to the coast. Instead of going to a smaller village further along the coast, we decided to stay in Huatulco. Kind of a bad choice, as it's full of tourists at this time of the year and available hotel rooms are scarce and totally overpriced. It took us quite long to find an adequate room. Also, when we checked out the beach, we didn't feel like swimming anymore because of the crowds. So we just bought some food, cooked dinner and called it a night.
At our hotel, we met Ivan, a Brazilian cyclists who had cycled from Canada to Mexico so far. He gave us some advice about biking in Central America which will for sure be quite useful in the future.Read more

Puerto Escondido... Beach time again!
February 20, 2020 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
Yes we're at the beach again, 3 days of city and we're back to relaxing 😂 this morning we walked from our hostel to a local beach called Puerto Angelito, it was about a 10min walk down and it was absolutely beautiful, the tide was rough here but perfectly good for swimming in, the water was so clear and really warm... Good for snorkeling too👌🤗💦 We also had some amazing mexican seafood here, fish tacos and prawn enchiladas 😋😋 with lots of picante 🌶 of course!Read more
