Beach Hotel Ines Puerto Escondido

Saturday, 22 August, Day 211<br><br>Puerto Escondido, Mexico<br><br> The Bus trip to Puerto Escondido was long and cold with a lot of **** and loud tv playing in Spanish. One of the shows I saw reminded me of why I will never get pay tv. It was a documentary on who would win in a fight out of a crocodile and a great white shark. Apparently this is how the fight would go. The shark would ambush the croc and bite it ...

Best effort to get away and it was still 9 by the time I cleared Acapulco, getting fuel and finding my way out to the Mex 200 the road that follows the coastal plain, not that it is that flat, plenty of hills.<br>The hilss and flats were a mix of trees, bushes, banana, and cocanut palms mixed in with small plot cultivation. The plams must be harvested as in some places the plantations were quite large.<br>Now and again there were shallow lagoons filled with water ...

... We spent the day on the beach flaking out as we were finally starting to feel better. I managed to get the old slug out for some air a couple of times during the day, and was enjoying seeing a fair few sets of titties go by. Well worth the visit to Zipolite if you ever come to Mexico. We decided that we should eat fish for tea, being right on the beach. I dont usualy eat fish, so Brendan said to get a fillette. Turned out to be brilliant, smashed it down in a couple of minutes and ...

... do it properly. We have eaten loads, been sung to by Mariachis (I´m looking for a man.... he calls himself Bucho...thats all.) and just been enjoying mexico wholeheartedly. We walked past a place that had cock fights and all the poor lads were in cages outside and one of them was burying a hole in the ground and looked like it was trying to escape. Poor thing... clearly not the hot favourite!

... my mum,and lukey badly. we catch a short taxi ride to our hostel and sit outside for a while until i find a key in the post box. safe! we let ourselves in, and on first impressions it looks like this place is a party hostel as there are beer bottles everywhere. although there is a lot of fresh trees and a small pool in the courtyard, it stinks! it smells of saddle soap! damp! i am not suprised with the humidity that the outdoor sofas hum, and ...

Practically running off the bus as we pull into Puerto Escondido, it's felt like a long 7 hour drive, possibly due to the fact that they seem to have over sold on the bus so there's people crammed down the aisles. It's 1am and all we want is to get to the hotel. We arrive at Hotel Rockaway and find that there's only a hotel room available, not a cabana as told on the phone earlier, but too tired to care we pay the high ...

... to be able to get to a deserted beach on the other side which was awesome. Climbing over the rocks was kind of scary thought because I went on the water side which was dumb because the waves kept splashing into me. We just spent time with the family and enjoyed a nice time on the beach. Unfortunately, as soon as the sun began to set, the mosquitoes came out and in about 3 minutes gave me a ton of bites on my ankles :(

... gray whales, since the humpbacks don't usually come this far south. But the pool area is paradise, as far as I'm concerned! The water was fabulous and they even had concrete lounges in the water, so you could sunbathe beautifully in complete comfort! So I would have liked my routine to be every other ...
