      Same same but different

      21 de diciembre de 2019, 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.      Leer más

      Oaxaca

      22 de diciembre de 2019, 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.      Leer más

      Changing plans

      23 de diciembre de 2019, 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.Leer más

      Christmas in the mountains

      24 de diciembre de 2019, 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!      Leer más

      Vamos a la playa turistica

      25 de diciembre de 2019, 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.      Leer más

      Puerto Escondido... Beach time again!

      20 de febrero de 2020, 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!Leer más

      Gerald & Denzel's Seabound Adventure

      20 de febrero de 2020, Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

      We heard from the owner of our hostel that there's a beach just out of town where you can release baby turtles. It was quite a walk from where we're staying but it was definitely worth it! The beach itself was stunningly picturesque and after a 20 minute walk across the sands we arrived at the little hatchery where they release baby turtles every day, they must have thousands of eggs this time of year as about 30 people turned up and everyone got their own little turtle in a coconut shell 😍
      I named my turtle Denzel and Charlotte eventually named her turtle Gerald. It's impossible to tell the gender of the baby turtles until about 1 year so we'll never know if they were aptly named! Once (a little clumsily) released Gerald had no problem getting to the ocean. Denzel on the other hand seemed to want to do anything but go into the sea. After about half an hour and several helping hands later he (or she) eventually made it and we waved him (or her) off and hoped that they all didn't get eaten by seagulls. A few of them did get scooped up despite the best efforts of the volunteers to keep the birds away! 😰 Only about 5% of every 1000 turtles reach adulthood so we've got our fingers crossed for our little turtle babies 🤞
      After they'd gone we watched a beautiful sunset and made our way back to town. On a side note we also saw some whales off on the horizon while we were releasing the turtles which was a nice bonus. Such an amazing experience in an equally amazing place!      Leer más

      Puerto Escondido Bioluminescent Bday

      21 de febrero de 2020, Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

      So it ended up being my birthday here in Mexico (its not all about me, but was for this one day only lol 😂) zach surprised me with some lovely jewellery that he bought way back when we were in Ecuador 🇪🇨 and the story goes I was chillin by the beach while he went off for a 'hair cut' in Montañita! I loved the jewellery and proceeded to wear it all day on my birthday of course! 2 women (Helen from the UK and Niaomi from Rotterdam) we met in our hostel (Paziflora) overheard us at breakfast talking about what to do for my birthday, so decided there and then we we're all to meet in the evening for beers in the lovely hostel garden... After our tour to the bioluminescent lagoon!! 😊👌 Perfect! It was a heavy night of many beers and chatting until the early hours of sunrise and birds tweeting around us (including the hostels parraket 'Nino' 🐦😍). Anyway the bioluminescent lagoon was amazing, even though we couldn't get photos of the luminescent algae, we were able to swim in the dark of the evening with them! We took a boat out down the lagoon rivers around 8pm, and the stars were soo vivid, we've never seen anything like it! As we got to the sides of the mangrove trees all around the river edge, we saw the water light up as the tour guide stopped the boat and stamped his feet! The algae started to glow brightly. This is a defence mechanism when they are scared, but as a result glowing under water only attacts the sardines to eat them, so there for the sardines start to glow too! ...ahh natures way! 🙄 It was something we had both never seen before, as we jumped into the water the algae glowed around us, the more you moved, the move they glowed in the water and on us! 😀 We spent about 30mins in the water splashing around making the algae glow, as we got back on the boat our swimwear still glowed like pieces of glitter when you touched it! A great experience not to be forgotten.. Or photographed lol👌😍. When we got back to the hostel thats when the party started for my birthday, even with a little cake and a birthday song sang in Spanish / English... We tried lol 😂. Zach also cooked us some amazing faijas that day in-between our chilling and lagoon tour...why not as they have the best ingredients for them in Mexico 🇲🇽 😊😉Leer más

      Mais ist hier Grundnahrungsmittel und wird in verschiedenster Art zubereitet .Mit unterschiedlichen Maissorten: gelbe, blaue bis schwarze, alte und neue.
      Bekannt ja in Form von Tortillas in den Ausprägungen
      Tlayudas, Memelas, Tostadas, Empanadas, Quesadillas, Burritos, Nachos. Aber auch in Tamales. Das ist polentaähnlicher Maisbrei mit Huhn und Mole Negro. Wird in Bananenblatt verpackt und im Topf gedämpft.
      Gibt es auch nur mit Mole in Maisblättern gedämpft.
      Mole negro ist eine dunkle Sauce mit individueller Zusammensetzung. In jedem Fall kommt Kakao / bzw. Chocolate ( entspricht nicht ganz Schokolade)
      dazu.
      An ambulanten Ständen wird Mais als Esquites ( Körner gedämpft ohne Kolben) z.B. mit Käse, Chapulines und Salsa angeboten und als kleine Mahlzeit zwischendurch verputzt. Oder in Form von Elotes als gegrillter Kolben mit salzigem oder auch süßen butterigen Überzug geknabbert.
      Die Bilder haben wir heute vor Santo Domingo aufgenommen. Am 29. 2. gabs dort eine Hochzeit nach der anderen. Immer mit viel Musik und Tanz. Der Aufwand ist hoch. Hier heiraten nur die Betuchteren.      Leer más

      Oaxaca

      19 de febrero de 2020, Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      Zwischenstopp für eine Nacht in einem weiteren süßen Kolonialstädtchen mit historischer Altstadt, die - zurecht - ebenso wie Puebla von der UNESCO zum Weltkulturerbe gekürt wurde. Ich schlendere einen Vormittag ziellos durch die malerischen Gassen und lasse mich treiben, mühe mich die Treppen in der nahenden Mittagshitze zum Obervatorium über der Stadt hoch und stärke mich in einem niedlichen kleinen Café, bevor meine Reise weitergeht und ein langer Tag im Bus bevorsteht.Leer más
