My name is Dave Briggs, and welcome to www.davestravelpages.com , my travelogue site. I am an Adventure Cyclist from England, and my latest trip is to cycle from Alaska to Argentina. I started in July 2009, and estimate that it will take 18 months, so please drop by again to check on my progress !
To read my current travelogue, use this link Alaska to Argentina., or simply have a look around the site to see my previous adventures, thoughts and views. The site is bigger than you might think, so put the kettle on, relax, and enjoy !
San Jose del Progresso to Puerto Escondido
| Cycling from Alaska to Argentina Travelogue - January 2010 Travelogue |
An 80 km day, which is just an average one, but at the end of it I felt exhausted. The humidity is something I am finding hard to adjust to, although I think that today’s tiredness came from mainly messing my eating patterns up. I’ve noticed that I’ve been eating a lot less than normal this last couple of weeks due to the heat, but I should still eat something every hour when cycling, otherwise I hit the wall! On reaching Puerto Escondido, I had a look around the old town for accommodation options. Nothing stood out however, and so I headed down to Playa Zicatela to see if I could find anything there. Playa Zicatela is a strange mix of purpose designed and laid out beachfront, combined with a surfer feel and backpacker hostels. I found a hostel type place, which cost me 100 pesos for the night in a simple thatched cabana. Job done, and I decided to eat constantly for the afternoon and evening!

The Top 20 Travel QuotesHere are my favourite 20 travel quotes. Travel quotes can inspire you to travel if you are sitting at home, thinking of travel. They can lift your spirits if you are already out on the road, as travel often has its lows as well as highs. These top 20 travel quotes all ring true for me in in some way. Sometimes they make me wince, sometimes they remind me why I travel, and sometimes they make me laugh. Here they are, in no specific order... |
