What A Road !!!

_6 January 2010

Let me tell you, from the moment we turned over to the “lateral” at the entrance to Puerto Vallarta and almost though out the day’s drive, the roadway was made in Hell.  Not only was it potted with sink holes large and small, there were those God awful “topes” (speed bumps).  Then it was the narrowness of the two lanes, the tree branches hanging low enough to run across the top of the coach, AND the winding twisting up and down mountain roads that we had heard so much about.  This was THE toughest drive we’ve had to date and it was only 130 miles.  It’s hard to believe but this is also a “Major” highway in Mexico and has a lot of big truck and bus traffic on it as well.  Because of a slow truck climbing a steep grade, the traffic behind can be as long as a mile or more.  It took us 2 hours to get to a location that we felt was far enough away from Puerto Vallarta and far enough ahead of some of the truck traffic that was on the road before we stopped for lunch at Boca de Tormatlan.

_I must point out, the first 2 hours were by far the toughest part of our days drive, so it was really time for a good meal at a great location.  Our destination was the Perula Trailer and RV Park in Punta Perula.  You can find this location by going to Google Earth and typing:  19.58863N,  105.12960W      This is a small park of 20 tight spaces and is located right on the beach and at the end of the village.

_We were amazed at the fullness of the campground with most staying the season (4-5 months), and 95% or more Canadians.  I must admit, the Canadians are making a HUGE presence here in Mexico vs. the Americans…it must be that the Americans believe all the media they read and hear.  Our first thoughts were to spend two or three days here,

_but once we got there it just wasn’t the place that we wanted to spend more than one night at so we set things in motion to move on in the morning.
