The landfill site outside Minatitlan – not the most pleasant aroma to inhale as we passed by.14 kilometres of flat and straight road with our own lane. Not a lot out here to see.
These extended wheel nuts appear to be a symbol of some kind because we see them a lot on the front wheels of lorries, We cannot imagine it being allowed in Europe anytime soon?The pictures the past three days don’t show how uneven and potholed the roads have been. It’s been a nerve wracking time because in Catemaco we were told, after a casual visit to a bike shop for another matter, that David’s rear wheel had a split forming in the rim and that it would likely only last for about 150 kilometres. We had to find a shop in this town, which neither of us can pronounce, otherwise its the end of the road for this trip.’Recycling at its finest. If you cannot afford a Christmas Tree you can always improvise.
New Year’s Day and everyone has the day off.It would appear the locals cannot pronounce the name of their town because they’ve shortened it. We can see from the outset that it is not very well maintained.
They have a very long flat beach which is long overdue for a litter pick.A permanent football pitch with goal posts on the beach.
They have installed floodlights to enable play after dark.We’ve never seen anyone carry their dog like this before.Many places appear unkept, rundown or abandoned.
These are very tasty although more expensive than our last roadside stop for tacos.
