Hotel Las Olas Puerto Escondido

... a thunderstorm later on in the afternoon. We were sitting with Patrick and Stacey chilling out when the heavens opened, big fat rain bouncing off the sea, an opportunity not to be missed so in we all went. An incredible experience and we watched the sky turn from grey to the most amazing flourescent blue I´ve ever seen in my life, it was breathtaking. We got out of the water though and were soon brought crashing back to reality. We had been ...

... both are in great shape. John's also very active in the local AA group. It seems they're always on hand to lend a hand whether the folks they rent a room from or anyone else in need. Both have dedicated themselves to becoming fluent in Spqanish - good roll models for us. Posy loved beach lounging but was uncertain about the surf until we threw her throw dummy. She quickly forgot about the waves and plunged right through them - even getting tossed a couple of times. It was quite an ...

... the trip.<br><br>This is a great place for expats based on their numbers but yet I am going to be the devil&#8217;s advocate and be counterintuitive for a moment and point out certain characteristics of PE that would make it less than ideal for expats.<br><br>Among them would be:<br>- lack of major shopping facilities in the form of big box stores<br>- lack of access to top medical facilities due to the town&#8217;s small size and distance from ...

... t really suit me, and after dinner a couple tequila shots and some beer dancing wasn't really what was on my mind. However, Monica wanted to show us the Polish Polka. Don't do that after tequila, those Pols have quite iron stomachs. There is lots and lots of spinning quickly in Polish Polka, so I don't recommend it if you've just eaten. Thats about all, we're all a bit burnt out from last night and a bit burnt from yesterday at the beach, but we're headed out to ...

... low. That's true Aussie spirit and we'll hopefully meet up with them again in the Yucatan for a few Cuba Libras. We spent our final evening out with Julia watching the surfers over dinner at Los Tios, one of the waterfront restaurants. We love the parrot as you enter who if you coax him enough will say 'hola' and then laugh hysterically. The locals here make incredible hammocks, super comfy and strong so after ...

... the symptoms are suspicious and when the case is verified, the full dosage is given. They taught is how to identify malaria using the microscope and showed us the various stages of the parasite's life cycle. Not going to lie, it was kind of nice because the lab was air conditioned and it was the first time that I had been in air-conditioning while in Puerto Escondido. Tuesday - One of the community workers took us to a small ...

... though and the majority of the surf beach, Zicatella, is a no go zone even for the surfers. Getting here was a bit of a nightmare, the bus from mexico city took 18 hours, the stupid part is it only took 6 hours to get to Oaxaca which on the map is about half way. Driving through the mountains was pretty cool, some had snow on top which was quite surppprisig to me and we went through some crazy little villages, places you can{t beleive people actually live ...

... was spent in deckchairs, in the tropical ocean, at El Jardin or La Flayita, I was never bored and could never want for anything. In Puerto Escondido a full English breakfast costs five dollars, a plate of barbequed prawns is under ten and La Flayita offers "Happy Sunset" 2 for 1 cocktails for forty-five pesos between the hours of 4:30 and 7:30pm (RSA? What's that?). If spending mountains of pesos isn't high on your list of priorities, why not take a taxi ...
