After leaving friends behind in Zanatepec, on the Pacific coast, …
Esmé, Ben, Mateo and Ethan
… and petting baby parrots …
… we hit the mexican cactus landscape …
… which turned our matresses into Swiss cheese.
We cycled in 5 days from the coast until Oaxaca city. We decided to take the main road (highway 190) which has been a good choice. There had been a road block and we had hardly any traffic and could fully enjoy the landscape and the good road surface.
Once near Oaxaca we visited some impressive tourist sites.
Mitla

The largest tree in the world in trunk thickness; more than 2000 years old and 11 meters in diameters – that’s what they say
Monte Alban
Templo Santo Domingo

And we found new friends again. Alex has been our warmshowers host in Oaxaca.
And Florent from The Netherlands, whom we met in a Hostel in Oaxaca, took Ben on a daytrip to Hierve el Agua.

We think of you often.
