19 January 2010 - More bus adventures...

Just a quick one to note another hair raising bus journey, this time through the mountains that separate Oaxaca from the coast. We drove for six hours on a large minibus and the vast majority of the time was spent on mountain roads perched over some very deep valleys. Add into the mix a bus driver happy to talk on his mobile phone whilst overtaking four vehicles and approaching the brow of a hill, leg room sufficient only for your average Mexican (who is generally smaller than 6' 3") and two hours sitting next to a sleeping old lady who nuzzled into me more at every bend in the road and you have the recipe for quite a fraught journey. We will need some time at the beach to recover.
