... and struggling so we asked Antonio to return it to the water. Eventually he complied but only after tying a noose around the turtle so that it couldn&#8217;t escape while we swam with it. This was not exactly what we had anticipated, so we declined the offer and persuaded Antonio to free the disorientated turtle.<br><br>That evening we went out with a large group from the hostel comprising Aussies, Israelis, a couple of Mexican guys ...

... around the souvenir stalls and bought a couple of presents for people. We then went to a local bar and sat out by the beach watching the sun set and chatting to people. We love it here. Its definitely one of our favourite holiday spots!<br>Today we have just been relaxing on the beach and having our last swim in the sea, as we leave on an overnight bus for Mexico City soon. Ed is busy making sandwiches to take for the journey!

... on the narrowest curvy road imaginable. It took us 10 hours to go 190 miles!!! We seemed to go forever up the sides of very steep mountain slopes, across knife edge ridges - then down for a ways and then up again. This route was little more than a paved mountain goat path!!! On occasion I'd look down and it was a couple thousand foot drop to a narrow valley way below. These mountains are incredibly rugged but not in the Rockies sense. They're either very jungley or heavily covered ...

... things but mad, angry, ****** about stupid *******s breaking into our house, which is all we have. We didn't sleep for the rest of the night and tried to talk to people, mostly locals to find out anything. We tried to spread the word that we don't need the board back but really want the bag and the clothes. We walked through the back roads of the point which don't look inviting at all for hours and hours hoping that the thieves dropped it in a corner when ...

... of the afternoon/evening. a few coronas later and the hostel group cooks a veggie pasta. it was a good evening, although i cant afford to drink like that too often. so we never got our lesson, as have decided we might aswell travel a bit more and see some ruins in the rain, rather than the beach. at least it is warm rain, rather than sideways cold english rain.... so we´re off to san cristobel on a 13 hour bus ride! wish me luck..and no malaria tablets!

... overhead seems to be about the average and when they curl over it's a huge explosion! Wherever you are in town, you can feel the rumble of the surf...it's amazing! Oh yeah, don't try to swim or body surf...if you do, the Mexican Hasselhoff Lifeguards will blow their whistles and motion for you to come out...the riptides and undertow are just too strong ...you really need to be strapped to surfboard or bodyboard. Malin and I decided to stay for a couple of nights ...

... did a bit of body surfing.   It's amazing how all of the Mexicans want to touch Islie.  I guess it's because of her blonde hair and blue eyes.  She had lots of walking practice with Daddy today and we're convinced that it will be mere weeks and she'll be walking.     In the early evening we headed back to El Adoquin to buy some gifts ...

... I don't speak Spanish) he gave up and let us go. We arrived at Peurto Angel mid afternoon and settled into the shady Rancho los Mangos campground with a nice pool and a short walk to the trendy Zipolite beach. We only stayed 1 night and left just after lunch the next day for Puerto Escondido only 80kms up the road. The Bay at Escondido was beautiful with plenty of fishing boats at anchor in the protected waters. The swimming was better here after the wild dumpers at ...

... have four patients in the same room and one right outside the door in the hallway. Another thing that was kind of cool was listening to fetal heartbeats with a kind of cup thing instead of using an ultrasound like they have in more developed hospitals. On the way back we were able to catch an air-conditioned bus that was definitely worth the 5 extra pesos for the reclining seats! We had our first day ...

... making many efforts to make improvements. He had asked me to give him some ideas, which, anybody who knows me knows that I will always do that! He had already cleared a lot of cluttered areas of branches and started to level some other areas. All towards organizing the electric, water and sewer hook-ups better ...
