Hitchhiking in Mexico.

---

Chetumal, 19-01-1990. Deciding to leave the public transpotation system of the mexican transport world alone, we left Coba by foot and once we got to the highway - well it looked like a highway but with hardly any cars on it - we just put our thump out in the universal way of asking in sign language for a free ride. Despite the almost absolute absence of cars, we got a ride in no time from an american woman to Tulum. Tulum has got it own set of Mayan ruins and turned out to be a good place for lunch before setting out on this so-called highway that has no cars on it, for Chetumal. Somehow we were lucky again and got a lift almost instantly for Chetumal from a mexican who 0ffered us a shit load of beer. Our room here in Chetumal is only 20.000 Peso but i consider the place a dubious affair full with dubious characters from Belize which is only a stone's throw away.
