Today was only a short 217 miles from Villahermosa to Isla Aguada. Still left Sam's early (0740) for fear of the parking lot getting full and hampering maneuverability. Man, the roads were great and the scenery very tropical…reminded us of Thailand. We’d be there in record time. Wrong. There is one village that has a road stretch of about 10 miles. They have to be in the Guinness record book for Topes per mile, total number of Topes, and ferocity of the Topes. Recall that Topes are speed bumps. In Mexico, they are not bumps. For many, you WILL stop and creep over it, and remember we are towing a car so that is 4 crossing per tope. They are very hard on RV’s and trucks. The solution is to just chill out, crawl behind the truck in front of you, and enjoy the village. I don’t know how they deal with the ambulances.
Anyway, we arrived at our park at 1140 and amazed at having averaged 54mph in spite of the Tope minefield.
Ok, the park. Absolutely fantastic in every way. To get the theme and purpose, just check their website HERE.
Bill and Thelma have poured a ton of work and money into this operation in the 2-3 years they have had it. Lots of cement walkways for the wheelchairs but very nice for all of us. Our site is cement level and right on the water…steps from the beach. The utilities have all be upgraded and are first class. The staff (and there are lots of them) constantly work raking, sweeping, watering, etc. The restaurant would get perfect score in any US health inspection (you know we notice things like that since our own restaurant).
The fantastic food passes Daniele’s critical inspection!
Oh, and the Pina Colada’s are great too!
We’re going to be here a long time so there will be more to say and show.
