Cycling days 25-30: Mazatlan to Durango
Day 25 (1/11/11): 20km
At 4pm, it's time to start loading the bicycles and make our way to the ferry. We get hugs from Matteo and Mel – we probably won’t see Matteo again because he’s taking a different route down the mainland, but Mel promises to catch up to us in the next couple of weeks. After living with these two for a full four days in La Paz, it almost feels like we’re saying goodbye and leaving ...

We spent most of the day collecting and filtering veggie oil and filling up the truck with veggie oil, for fuel, wow, a full tank, for free! Just for the asking, and we got to bring awareness to people about converting diesel into veggie oil as a cheaper and eco friendlier source for combustible.

Het enige nadeel, er is nogal wat drugshandel in deze regio, dus ze adviseerden ons om 's nachts in ieder geval een veilige plek te zoeken.
En dat hebben we gedaan, bij veecontrole posten gekampeerd en een keer bij iemand via via, dus dat stuk ...
Mexico
Took 8.5 hours (eventually got a seat after the first 1.5 hours!) to get over the Devil's Backbone & down into the central valley.
Yet another overturned lorry, this time UHT milk, being scavenged for all parts (not just cargo, but bits of the lorry itself!).
Durango OK but nothing much to commend it - went to avoid doubling back & also to see a disused movie set. It was a challenge to get ...
