    Oaxaca touristy things

    19. februar, Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

    As the improper tourists we are, we had a bit of stressing around town to do to find spare batteries for my water purifier, electrolyte powder, and cooking alcohol. And we might have gone to thirty stores in total asking around for those things, but we got it all. First things first.

    After all that, we had time and energy to do sightseeing, drink some excellent local coffees — not instant like you get in the small towns — and have some amazing food. And we didn't even have the shits yet, after having had some cold rice drink (horchata) with ice, tacos from roadside stands, and icecream from the market. In oaxaca you will manage as a vegetarian; in smaller pueblos it is not always easy and we will resort to cooking ourselves a bit more often.

    On Wednesday we went to the biggest archeological site around, the _real_ Monte Alban, which was a city more than 2000 years ago and has a lot of temples. Temples temples temples. And a ball court (unknown if they also sacrificed the winner to the gods here). Mostly, it was super hot up there, which robbed you of all energy pretty quickly. We are both happy to have taken a tourist bus up there, and not to have tried going up there on our own accord (least of all bike up there).

    Today we did a Mexican (Oaxacan) cooking class, where we made our own tortillas, empanadas, mole, saw foodbunnies that were so cute but "not ready for eating yet", and drank mezcal. Good way to get ready for more days of cycling, in the direction of tuxtla.    Læs mere

    One battle after another

    A guest commentary by Katharina Varga

    After leaving the hotel in the morning we started the part of the route that scared me the most. Lots of uphill, somehow no downhill. What kept me going was the occasional coke from a small Tienda and the rush of adrenaline you get when a pack of dogs tries going after you.

    So when we reached Santiago Apoala after a rare “wobbly bobbly” downhill section (which cost me a sandal and the sleeve of my jacket) we decided that we deserve a rest day. Came in handy that it was not only really beautiful there, but also a big carnival hotspot. So naturally the gringos had to crash the party.

    The day after started as usual by pushing our bikes up a hill (yes, we also ride them from time to time) and ended in an amazing view, where we set up our tent.

    Then came our last day before going back to Oaxaca. We stopped in St. Ines at what seemed to be a restaurant to get some breakfast. Actually we got invited by a family to join their brunch. Jacco asked one of the guys what they were celebrating. Turns out someone died. Oops. So I didn’t dare to tell them that I was a vegetarian and silently ate my way around the chicken they served us (sauce was pretty good though).

    Today we treated ourselves by taking a zero elevation route to Oaxaca. The price was to nearly get bitten by a bunch of dogs- still worth it.    Læs mere

    Vamos a volver por el gato

    12. februar, Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Our first dinner in mexico was street tostadas served on a roadside stand by some grandma, and were — also due to the difficulty involved in eating them — an amazing welcome. We love the food; but we wonder how long it takes before we get sick of tortillas with beans. Certainly not yet.

    Despite the many cars really stinking the place up, people are chill towards cyclists and most of all super friendly in general. Even with my broken Spanish (which kinda works, though!) I/we love the openness of los gentes here 🇲🇽🇲🇽.

    We had (local) coffee at a coffee shop with a super cute cat, and either for the coffee or for the cat we might try return there after our cycling trip. Then we wanted to go up Monte Albán, some archeological site, but with my amazing planning we ended up going up the _wrong_ Monte albán: Monte albán Chico. Nice view, but not the same.

    (Ah, and we had huge cockroaches in our first apartment.)

    Today (12 February) after the usual problems with the first day of cycling, we started tracing the old railroad track that once existed between Oaxaca and mexico city: super steep, heavy, rough, hot, but partially very nice. We had planned to stop at a hotel that was listed on bikepacking.com in an village in the middle of nowhere next to the railroad that no longer exists and, despite our doubts on there being anything whatsoever, we found the hotel operational and the town not deserted. So more tacos and beans for us tonight =).

    And also more (different) tacos and beans tomorrow for breakfast.    Læs mere

    Why are they all staring at us?

    9. februar, Østrig ⋅ ☁️ 2 °C

    We are on the way to 🏜️fiesta mexicana 🌮 and had a blast carrying the bikes to the train station at 7 am. Either I look like a bum or something was constantly going on behind us, because we were getting a lot of genuine stares. (We just waved back.)

    We are flying to mexico city, then to oaxaca (by bus), at which time the cultural education and colonialism can start.    Læs mere
