We left the balneario campground in Villahermosa at 6:15 AM, it was just getting light. The traffic was light and there were no big delays. No military or police inspections, they just waved us through.<\/p>\n

Seems like we stopped a lot for gas and my pesos are running low.Hope we have enough pesos to make it to the border to buy some cheap Texas gasoline.<\/p>\n

It was another 11 hour day, a little light rain near Vera Cruz. A big surprise, they finished the last overpass on the MX180 bypass of Vera Cruz, but you still have to drive over the train tracks. There is a fairly new bypass around Cardel, it’s marked Poza Rica. Saved driving through the slow intersection in town.<\/p>\n

We got to the Condado Auto Hotel & campground just before 5 pm, after stopping to buy a liter of orange blossom honey in Alamo. There were hundreds of Topes today and we sure stirred up our cupboards and refrigerator.<\/p>\n

There is no wireless here and we didn’t try the electricity. Camping is 150 pesos\/night. The Telcel Banda Ancha worked fine for the internet.<\/p>\n

So here are our plans for Tuesday<\/p>\n\n\n\n
