Possibly the worst road in Mexico.....

Trying to Avoid the Sun
As Puerto Escondido is in the middle of nowhere most of the bus journeys take an obscene amount of time. Thus, every single bus out of town leaves after 5pm and travels all night. Our bus didn't leave until 6:45pm so we had all day to kill. Killing time ...
