This is Ryan’s story. He bravely decided to travel on bike all the way up from Honduras, through Guatemala and Mexico to his home in Colorado. Wow!
The excerpt below is basically for Mexico. What you’ll get?
- cock-fighting
- 100% organic tortilla
- street music and dancers
- arm exercises for bicyclists
- a (disgusting) close look at nature
- Chihuahua (not the dog)
Remember one thing for sure: Do not accept offers from taxi rides when you walk out of the airport. Never do this. Instead ask an official at the tourist information desk where to find the taxis or eventually ask them to call for one for you. Radio taxis are a little bit more expensive but they are safer and won’t use bootleg to charge you more. Between 10 pm and 5 am the price is usually 20% higher (night rate). Tipping is up to you and the accepted is from 5 to 20 pesos.
If you land in San Miguel (the biggest and actually the only city on the island) first drop by Carlos ‘n Charlies. Its one of the most popular bars but I have seen their branded t-shirts way beyond the boundaries of the traditional Mexico holidays makers with people from Japan happily wearing them around Europe. See, it’s worldwide famous, so it’s a must see for every holidaymaker.
