"Drive carefully"
"Take care of your life. Don't get distracted." -- Then stop distracting me with all these damn signs!!
One more ... my favorite.
"Remember that your family awaits you."
Before long, we arrived at the town of Felipe Carrillo Puerto. Here is your last chance of filling up on gas. The gas station in Mahahual is no more! There is one Pemex gas station just north of town, and another in the downtown area. You can't miss either one.
We stopped at the first gas station to use the public bathroom (cost: 2 pesos) and pick up some cervezas (cost: $15 pesos a bottle). After the gas station, you can take a bypass to avoid downtown, but it doesn't take long to get through. We made one more stop downtown to pick up more ice. And I photographed this little chapel.
Felipe Carrillo Puerto is typical small Mexican town with roasted chicken joints, pharmacys, cell phone stores and churches.
Tope! (Speed bump)
"Thank you for visiting the Maya Zone"
They had lots of these new bus stops.
Approaching the town of Limones. This is a smaller town than Felipe Carrillo Puerto. Not a lot going on here.
Four kilometeres past Limones, we came to the turn off for Mahahual. It was well-marked. The road to Mahahual was another 2 lane highway, but we got our shoulder back. All the roads we took were well maintained and pothole free.
59 kilometers later, we knew we had arrived when we saw the Mahahual lighthouse which amazingly survived the hurricane unscathed.
