Today we rode 270 Kms (167 miles) from Oaxaca, MX to Zipolite, MX.
And for the first time on this trip we saw the ocean, in this case the Pacific.
If yesterday had been a great ride, today it was magnificent. The 175 is very much a road worth doing in Mexico 🇲🇽. I have to believe it is in the top 5 to ride.
But I am going too fast. The included with our hotel breakfast was excellent. All in all we were very pleasantly surprised with the hotel we stayed in. It has an hostel type of feeling but it is of much higher quality. They had different types of fruit and you could make delicious fruit juices or smoothies.
We left Oaxaca and made our way south and west towards the Pacific Ocean. We had lunch at San Jose Del Pacifico. The views were excellent. The food was average,
We got as high as 9,200 feet (more than 2,700 meters) and temperature dropped to below 60F (15C) but as we got closer to the coast the temperatures started to go up again and they were nearly at 90F (32C) when we arrived at Zipolite, MX.
We stopped for a rest about one hour from the ocean and had “douradas” (hard tortilla) with local produced honey.
We arrived towards the end of the afternoon in Zipolite, MX and were able to take some pictures of the beach but by the time we had found an hotel, unloaded and freshen up with a shower the sun had gone down.
We had dinner in a fresh fish restaurant and after eating meat and chicken so far it felt good to have fish and sea food.
There is a road behind the first row of hotels close to the beach where all the action is and it is full of people walking around until late hours of the night. To counterbalance that you also have the quietness and peace of the seaside.
Make Life a Ride !
