Weblog: Mexico Day 5: San Cristobal

<< Previous Entry | Next Entry >>

We wanted to explore some of the area around San Christobal, so we drove toward Chamula, planning to stop at a biosphere reserve along the way. Just after we'd missed the entrance to the biosphere reserve, the clutch cable broke, so Ed skillfully drove clutchless a few hundred metres to a mechanic. The mechanic only had a used clutch cable, so Ed then walked much of the way back to San Christobal to get a new one, and cought a bus back.

That all cost us a couple of hours, so we spent about an hour walking around the biosphere reserve which was about to close. It was nice to walk around a forest again, and this forest was really quite similar to our own B.C. temperate rainforest. After that we headed back to town and relaxed.
