My Journey Round The World

This travel in suburban (small van) was really interesting… Luckily I was in front which allowed me to see the beautiful landscape all the way long! Less lucky thing was that the security belt was broken… Fortunately I’m usually not scared in cars, however here it was sometimes a bit scary: driving pretty fast on a mountain road or overtaking in curves for example… It was epic I have to say! Also considering that they have to slow down really often because of the tope – bump - or even worse, the hole all over the streets. However, drivers knows pretty well the road!

It was interesting to see that even if driving is a bit crazy, they do have the same rules as we have in Europe such as putting the warning when there is a slowdown. I also noticed that from time to time WC needed to be paid as it is in Belgium

Just before starting the mountain part, driver stoped to put more air in tyres… Not wondered why when I’ve seen the road! Changing from Spanish-Mexican music for American one such as: Daddy love, I will survive, Bee Gees, YMCA… Maybe to give him some energy… Ok after 3 or 5 times the same music – I finally fell asleep in between! Someone asked him to put the radio!

I was unable to speak properly – I wanted to ask so many questions about what & where we were, which I could have done, but I won’t have been able to understand the answers! So I shared my small lunch & water with the driver which seemed to appreciate… At least it was another way of communicating

We crossed the Sierra with lot of different areas more beautiful than each others, smelling coffee, seeing such nice landscape… I thought about you Martina when seeing those huge Banana trees

I loved this travel!

Arriving in Potchula, I had to take a taxi collectivo in order to reach Puerto Angel… Such an experience too! 6 people in 1 car, 2 in front & of course I was in the middle next to quite a big guy… Taxi driver wanted me to pay 15 pesos instead of 10! No way!!!
