15 October: Tuxpan to Huatulco

Huge day of travelling. With an early start we made it to Acayucan by early afternoon. From Acayucan, we turned off on the road across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec (the narrow ´waist´of Mexico). Heavy rains had turned the already marginal highway into an all-out 4X4 challenge. For four grueling hours we slammed our way through the craters and potholes, until finally reaching the road to Huatulco shortly after dark. From there we passed another two hours along the winding highway, arriving in La Crucecita in time to catch some late night tacos pastor.
