We paid about $41 for our hotel in San Miguel that also came with a free breakfast. The breakfast was offered at a restaurant 5 blocks or so away, so we woke up and headed towards that direction. It was cold in San Miguel that morning, with a low of 39 degrees. We headed over to La Cocina where we had a nice Mexican breakfast with coffee, fruit and juice. The only problem with this place was that we were seated next to an open door, which didn’t help my cold toes in my keens; my fault for wearing summer shoes in such cold weather.
After breakfast we packed and got back on the bike to take the once again short tide to Queretaro. I was beginning to really enjoy these short rides as they are much easier on the butt.
Our plan was to stay in Queretaro one night and then fly out of Queretaro the following morning since they had an international airport. We arrived in Queretaro early and had planned on going to the airport before finding a hotel but got lost in the process and ended up just going downtown to look for a hotel. After finding out that not many places in centro had private parking on site, we decided to find the airport after all and check out their parking situation. Our goal was to leave the bike for 5 days in the most secure area that we could find.
Queretaro airport is far away from town, and is the only thing in its immediate location. The parking lot at the airport wasn’t gated, but it had a 24 hour security guard on staff who promised our bike would be watch at all times and we wouldn’t have to worry about theft. We agreed that parking the bike at the airport was the better option; we would have someone watching our bike at all times instead of leaving it in a hotel garage and we wouldn’t have to pay for a taxi ride to and from the airport when getting back into town. We got back on the bike and headed back to centro to look for a hotel. After driving around for about an hour we finally decided on hostal Galerie which was close to the main strip and cost only about $35 a night. While the room was decent, the traffic ended up being extremely loud and there was not hot water even though we complained to management about it. After all, they did promise hot water upon arrival.
The rest of the night we walked around town, enjoyed the free bands playing in almost every town square, took advantage of the free wifi offered in every town square, ate tacos for dinner, and just relaxed as we sat "people watching" all night.
Talk about manual labor?
