Bungalows & Cabanas Acuario Puerto Escondido

... the last beach town I couldn’t help but go to another one. Puerto Escondido was essentially a beach bum paradise. The perfect place to do nothing all day, and drink all night. It wasn’t a great place for clubbing, more for drinking beer in hammock seats on the beach in the middle of the night.
I went swimming all day, and spent the night drinking in a hammock at the pub that was on the beach. At hostel ...

... it was thereatening to storm but I didn't want to stop at another seaside resort and as it was only 16:00 I decided to head up the 131 to Oaxaco. This I found out later was the old road (and it showed), plenty of broken surfaces and deep potholes.
Then of course the storm broke and I had to stop and drop my trousers to fit the liners. Wearing the liners when its hot is like sitting in baking foil.
Continued on up the mountain (Sierra Madre Miahautlan ...

... night at the bar talking to the irish guy. He had been so drunk one day that he and a mate of his had changed there names. His new name was Crazyhorse Invincible and he had the drivers licence to prove it! Brendan and I were drinking water, in an effort to get healthy again, mind you we had had fish, coca cola and a joint already that night. A group of about five Mexican guys at the bar thought we were poofs, and brought us a beer. They then proceeded to challange me in arm wrestles ...

After Acapulco we headed down the coast to Puerto Escondido, which is a lovely little coastal town and home of the Mexican Pipeline (best waves in Mexico). We ended up staying in this really cool, very cheap villa on the beach with a bunch of surfie types. A fellow Aussie loaned us a couple of boards, so we have surfed the big Meican waves- both were ...

... sitting on them we are immediately soaked.... nice. we look through a few rooms from our mad cockney landlord steve.... we finally settle on one of the better ones...but by matts face...this place is a dive! what can we complain about at only a few pounds a night...we have come here for the surf, and hopefully will only be sleeping here. we grab our beach towels..or sarongs...and head to the beach. unfortunately i didnt take my camera incase of ...

... He then told me to back up, but since we were on a down-hill slope, and the 1,050 pound Sledgehammer doesn't have reverse...we were stuck there, with front row seats! I asked Malin to get the camera to take a nonchalant picture of Nacho Libre and the entire mess, and then I realized her eyes were still shut underneath her fully closed fishbowl helmet! Ok, Malin was able to snap off one picture, and just then a worker motioned me forward...I glanced over at Nacho Libre ...

... nd the music w*s turnned up, *long with our voices. Once *g*in we were rudly interruped by th*t s*me guy, who told us th*t outside *lcohol is prohibited in the hostel. They w*nted us to buy the *lcohol from them. this guy proceeded to confisc*te bottles of rum, vodk* *nd beer, wo*h buddy, we fired up *nd * fight *lmost broke out. he lost, *nd in his temper t*ntrum told us *ll to get out. no problem, it w*s getting l*te *nd this p*rty needed to move on. We took ...

Well, sadly all good things must come to an end and we must go.  We spent our morning down at CoCo's relaxing.  We played in the very small playground there and Daddy took Islie on the swings.   We were all packed up so when a representative came to tell us our bus to the airport was there an hour early, all we had to do was grab our stuff (and a quick ...

Today was my first day of the actual clinical work. The weekend was great. The bonfire never happened but we had a great time going to a couple of the places to hang out in the area including Casa Babylon where we played Jenga and Barfly where we made animal shadows on the wall of the dance floor with the projector ^^ Yesterday: The morning kind of stunk because I mostly worked on homework for my online ...

... doing other chores and the internet, etc. and on opposite days enjoying paradise at Playa del Sol!! However, it wasn't very practical, even though they only charge $40 pesos (about US $3.50) per person for the day, plus any food and drink you buy there, which, of course, were also at more expensive ...
