... a bit tired of criss crossing the Sierra Madre and I need to get to Guatemala for possible hook up with fellow traveler.
I stopped at Arriaga this gives me the choice of either option in the morning and I need Internet access.
Stopped at the Hotel Marie Eugenia another cheap clean place, as they have all been so far.
Got a taxi into the town centre to find a Internet cafe, that's more like it $5 Pesos per hour.

... We went to the theatre in the evening which lasted a couple of hours and was of course a traditional Mayan story with masks and tribal dress, the music was very powerful, mainly drums. The days have been long and the evenings eventful as we gather each night to eat drink and be merry BUT of course orderly....we left the disorder to the other younger GAP group.....time to move on to new country as we cross the land border to Guatemala tomorrow.

Well no trip report from MX would be complete with out a discussion on Topes. We North Americans would refer to them as Speed bumps. If you drive in Mexico you will quickly learn not to ignore any sign that looks like or is spelled like tope. I have seen them called Tope, Tope, Topas, and Reductors. All are designed with one thing in mind, to slow traffic or create and accident if you don´t slow. They are made ...

On to Puerto Arista, a relative metropolis, plenty of shops, some of them even open! Out of high season seaside towns tend to only fully open at weekends when the city dwelling Mexican hordes descend. Found a nice little place near a smelly lagoon and not far from the beach, but sadly, as often happens in Mexico, the workers started banging around at 6am - because it´s really hot later, they start work early but with no concern for their sleeping clients.

Just a stop over in this small town, where a Saturday night is spent drinking until falling asleep in the streets. It was quite funny arriving there so late, everyone just coming to us so drunk and talking to us and then after one hour seeing them sleeping outside. This time has not much apart from good hot dogs, we went to eat them at a stand where they were showing a Mexican boxing game, and i had to stasy the whole 11 rounds and cheer up with the locals...

... separated and all taking different routes arrived at the orphanage within 10 minutes of each other. The short stay there was very satisfying the kids were all very happy to see us and our kids especially as most visitors are retired couples. We all kicked the footy around for a while, a couple showed a bit of potential too. We invented a new ball game, a cross between cricket and baseball that the boys played for a while. Bev lightened our ...

The bus stopped at Pochuatla a bit away from the coast. I took a so called colletivo bus which cost 8 pesos that's in contrast to a cab which would have been around 200 pesos. Stayed at a place called Lola(120 pesos). I had view over the ocean and a fan no mosquitoes and my own toilet. There wasn't much to ...
