(^66) Barra de la Cruz – San Pedro Pochutla - 70km
From Barra de la Cruz the road climbed steeply to the main drag. So
steep was the route, I had to walk the bicycle. Once on our original
path, an undulating road took us to Pochutla where a short stroll led
to the nearby supermarket, which allowed purchasing the necessary
items for supper. Phew, at times it felt like all I did was cycle and eat.
San Pedro Pochutla – Puerto Escondido - 70km
Eventually, the route levelled out and became easy riding to Puerto
Escondido where we opted to overnight at Playa Zicatela.
We spent the day in Puerto Escondido where the waves were fast and
furious. The beach is known as The Mexican Pipeline, one of the top
ten surfing meccas globally. The beach further had a dangerous surf
break and extremely powerful waves. Still, a certain electricity
prevailed when the big waves rolled in.
Like nearly everyone, I’m naturally drawn to the waves’ pounding and
can spend hours gazing at waves rolling in. Sitting there, I could
almost feel the power of these mighty waves crashing ashore.
