Reached Puerto Chiapas in quite a fast pace, all good. Reached my goal and I am DONE for this year’s section, I will go home! Back likely end of January. Rebeca and her friend Alex are looking after me, muchas gracias!

But first, I have to drag and carry my gear some more distance to the ‘real’ rivermouth, as the water is even lower this morning and to get afloat […]

On packing, I see him coming back with a friend, […]

Well, if one does not count the cow herd moving by sunset to the beach, just after the family is gone. What is a […]

I kept my tent halfway cool with additional shade of my sleeping bag, but pleasant ’beach life’ is something else. I took good […]

Just had two physical rest days camping on a hot beach on Puerto Arista. Not much to report besides a lot of office work, repairs and recovery. I start over again tomorrow, to reach Puerto Chiapas by Saturday. Thanks to Rebeca looking after me Saturday and Sunday!

All good, just dead tired. Have a day off tomorrow and will write more.
