FCP, Mexico

Scott and Jordan were keeping their eyes open and they're backs to the wall.

We arrived in Fellipe Carrillo Puerto at approx.2:30, way ahead of schedule. The ride was roughly 100 kms and we are making great time, due to no mechanically failures or physical mishaps and great spirits.
The high lite of the evening was buying a round for a whole bar. FCP isn't renowned for it's multitude of bars, the one we found was inhabited by locals of what appeared to be every age, gender and as we're still debating, sexual preference. At a little over a buck a beer, it was worth the entertainment value.
Dinner was at the little taquiria next to the hotel, where they served the traditional Mexican fare of tacos.all Kerry, Barry, Greg and Roger got a little braver and ventured out on to the street for some off the cart creation which was even better. It consisted of cheese, ham, pork and onions wrapped up in a soft tortilla shell.
Another early night as all were tired from the ride.

Tulum for the night

Here comes Greg

Roger wants to know what is taking so long? "Let's go"

Jordan and Rick are catching their breath

Scott is resting up a bit

Barry having a little rest

Shawn had a little crash and scraped his elbow

Roger had a friend sleep with him last night in his room but had to evict her early in the evening. After some misguided tourist tips which added 20 very interesting kms to the ride, the 8 of us have made it to Tulum after 117 kms. Shawn had an incident with the ditch and his arm, which does not look pretty, but ,he assures us that he is still able to ride, the ditch was unscathed however. We managed to leave Puerto Moroles a little earlier then expected and after several deserved stops for real Mexican food and refreshments, we arrived around 3. We were under the impression that the hostel we stayed in last year was closed but much to our surprise and 80 pesos later, we have a place for the night. We are now cleaning up and headed out for supper.

Puerto Moroles here we are.

First night in Mexico. Not really warm here but the Cerveza is helping.

On our way at last

After some confusion in Vancouver over parking issues, we made our flight to Edmonton where we met up with Shawn for the continuation of our trek to Belize. Our flight is sched to leave in 40 minutes with an arrival into Cancun at 1706. It is a brisk -7 here in Edmonton and in the 30`s at our next stop. Here is the first of many pictures and updates to follow.

Official Beers of the Expedition

For the Mexican leg of the expedition we will be drinking mostly Corona, Sol and Kerry's Favorite way to replenish his electrolytes, Sol with Salt and Lime.

Belikin is pretty much the only beer in Belize. It's good so we will drink lots of that in Belize!
