Eleven Year Full-Timer with his wife and RV
Settled in our site at the Bonampak HotelWe stayed at the Bonampak Hotel and RV Campground. The campground was located behind the hotel and they supplied us with water (not for drinking), electricity, and sewer. As mentioned, I zapped the 120 volt system, but we were able to bypass it and lost only the microwave and A/C. It’s what we call “roughing it”. The campground was secure, spacious and occupied by friendly and interesting fellow RVers.
Two couples from Alberta, Canada, (Thomas, Diane, Doug and Darlene) were great company. We enjoyed a community dinner along with a couple from California. The following day, Thomas and Diane joined us on our trip to the Indian villages and the Ambar Museo .
Cindy and I decided to leave a day early and join the Canadians for the drive down the mountain (7,000 feet drop down to 2,000 feet) to Tuxtla Gutierrez. I was concerned about the transmission and brakes, but all went well and we traveled on to Ocozocautla and spent a night at a campground located in an Orphanage. We visited with some of the chicos and settled in for the evening. Diane made a dish of spaghetti for all. The next morning they stayed on to visit the canyons nearby and we headed for the coast.
Our drive took us through Tehaultepec where we planned to spend the night in the Calli campground behind the hotel. The Calli Hotel policy had changed and they would not let us camp in our RV. They did allow us to park the motorhome and stay in one of their rooms. Too tired to argue, we paid 900 pesos and spent the night under the A/C and watched Mexican TV (breakfast was included in the room rate).
Driving got a little crazy and dangerous when we experienced high winds 70 to 80 miles/hr (maybe more) outside Tehaultepec. The story will be told in the next blog.
