Before we know it the end of Mexico is in sight. We’ve spent the past few days sweltering in bright shine and high humidity, we’ve eaten fresh shrimp in beach front restaurants, wandered through the Palanque Mayan ruins, drank margaritas by the pool, bounced over a frustrating and irritating number of topes, tangled with the city traffic of Villahermosa, been bitten by mozzies and even had a small crash on a left hand bend in the mountain (nothing serious).
Currently notorious for swine flu and drug shoot outs, what we saw of Mexico was nothing like the media hype. Sure, we got the wet season a little earlier and heavier than normal, but that just made the landscapes lush and green and not like “desert and cacti”, which had been some riders expectations of what Mexico would be like.
