Don’t Drive At Night
The coast road north (route 200) is bump-itty bump in places. Every small town and village has speed bumps with shops nearby.
Last summer’s hurricane dropped a lot of water in the mountains which in turn washed the road out in a few places. Road repairs were not completed. The breaches had been filled with packed sand and gravel as a temporary fix. No other signs of the hurricane were visible from the road to us. Apparently damage was minimal.
The autopistas (toll roads) cost us about $700 Pesos all total … which isn’t bad at all.
We arrived in La Manzanilla late Thursday afternoon about 4:30 PM Central Time and are currently camped at a beachfront RV/Tent campsite just north of the La Manzanilla cemetery (also beachfront). La Manzanilla is inhabited with lots of Canadians and they too laugh at the American horror stories. On the beach, when we went for a walk, we met an American who is finishing his home that he started building here three years ago. He said the locals were all honest hard workers and he gives them bonuses during the year. Nothing to fear here.
