Zipolite to Hautulco

We had a 9am flight to catch, and a 45 minute drive from Zipolite to Huatulco where the next airport was, so we woke up before then sun this morning. We reluctantly hung our keys from the door, loaded up the bike, and headed off into the sunrise.



With the road construction this hole in the road was just wide enough to where our front tire could or could not have gotten stuck in. The guys were nice enough to put this plank of wood down for us to drive over.


Arriving at the airport we were met by a guard who told us we could just drive right through. Did they think we were day trippers? Why didn't we need a ticket? Oh well, lets just park and take care of it when we get back. Maybe it's free, we thought.

The airport itself it quite nice. It is fairly new since Hautulco itself is new made primarily for a cruise destination since Acupulco is no longer safe enough for cruise ship touristicas. The airport is incredibly small, so we ended up being an hour and a half early. We ordered one last Tlayuda for breakfast while we spoke with another couple who were waiting for the same flight. They were from Sonoma and owned a vineyard. They were just leaving Mexico after 6 weeks of travel. They recommended a few places to visit on our next route down. They told us that while they travel, they rent their vineyard home to vacationers to make some extra cash. i thought this concept was interesting as we could potentially be doing the same thing.
