Flat, cool in the AM, first stop at Playa Sento Tecko at 44km. Nice beach and palapa restaurant, huge waves, no swimming today. After a couple hours on the beach, we are off to the biggest climb remaining in the tour. We are met at the top by Humberto on his bike. After awhile at the top with a great view, we are off to Humberto's Hotel Reyes, my room is 220p ($17), doubles are 260p ($10 each), fan, TV, windows without screens, one faucet water. Dogs, puppies, chickens, roosters, geese and geckos are free. Very warm, upper 80s, 64km today. Dinner on the plaza from a street vendor, the enchilladas de pollo were very good. About half the group went for pizza?!? in this tiny town, which they reported as also good.
Breakfast choices are usually eggs prepared in a variety of ways or quesadillas or fruit or pancakes. Coffee is almost always Sanka. I had granola cereal before riding. Alot of seafood is available along the coast for minimal cost. In general the food is not too spicy, unless you order it that way. To be safe, only drink and brush teeth with bottled water, avoid things like lettuce which could be washed in tap water, but anything cooked or pealed is OK. Oh yes, I did have a couple minor occurances of Motezumas revenge. It must not have been too bad since I don't exactly remember where. Handled by a couple PeptoBismol tablets.
