Playa Azul

Leaving the hole that is Caleta de Campos it was noisy and we had dogs chasing us but once we were out of the town it was peaceful and nice again. We stopped shortly to watch the sun come up over the ocean.

The days riding wasn't so bad, most of the way we were on a new highway but since it was still being built there were a few unmarked forks in the road. Do we take the new, maybe unfinished, maye end in a cliff road or the safe but probably longer, yet bumpy old road. It was exciting everytime. At one of the forks we chose to take the old road and it was good we did because Dave and Uschi took the new way and it ended in a dirt road around a bridge that wasn't quite done yet adding a bit of time to their day.
Arriving in Playa Azul we met up with our travelling companions at a restaurant and planned on looking for a hotel to stay in rather than biking the extra 20km to Lazaro Cardenas in the mid afternoon heat. We found a nice hotel, the oldest and largest in town, caught up with family and just relaxed.
The next day we decided to stay and Dave and Uschi decided to ride to Lazaro Cardenas as Erin's belly was not getting better and thought she should have another day to recover. The whole day was pretty well spent in bed with Rigel running errands and cooking :-)

Some nice farmland on the ride

There is a little bit of bad news to this hot day..when we put our spot out to send the ok, someone stole it. We thought it could have been a kid thinking it was a toy but no one saw it. Alas, we will be travelling the old fashioned way again.
