Marina Hotel Resort Huatulco

... had gone to work out, and I headed to the bow of the ship to take photos and to see the other bays I had missed, due to sleeping, as we had sailed in. Clouds were gathering over the mainland, and it continued to darken as we backed our way out of the harbour and into open waters. The coastline is beautiful, reminding me of central California in some ways, rugged, inspiring, dramatic. As we sailed out the swells were large and the ship began to rock ...

... pier was crowed to capacity and the little town, swamping with tourists. Fortunately for us on our boat journey we'd noticed a little beach just around the corner, so we took the opportunity to walk around the harbour to it and spent the afternoon there along with the locals, just swimming around and chilling out, we were the only non natives there, not one of the ...

Wednesday October 29th After a very restless night, I finally got out of bed at 5:00. We found a little restaurant, our host was a great man who was very warm and welcoming. During our delicious breakfast we met two gentlemen who were from Venezuela and Columbia. We got some more information in case we decide to go to Columbia. We said our goodbyes and hit the road. We decided to see some ancient Mexican ...

HUATULCO AND CHIAPAS OCTOBER 6TH Yesterday we stopped at Huatulco on our southward journey towards the Panama Canal. Huatulco was another one of those ports that we decided there was not much for us to do or see so we spend the day on the ship. But we decided the night before we arrived that we would gather together all the stuff we have bought and drag it into to DHL and ship it home. This had been our plan all along....shipping stuff home that we would not ...

Just a little pit stop to break up the journey to San Cristobal. We arrived late last night with two Swiss friends that we met in Mazunte. They are on their way to San Cristobal too, to handover some money that they raised back in Switzerland for the Zapatistas, a local revolutionary group that fights for the rights of indigenous people. Juchitan is a small, out of the way town, one hour from the coast. The local people seem friendly and last ...

... Domingo.' The church is considered to the best examples of baroque style in Mexico, opening in 1608 and its golf leaf inside has to be seen to be believed, I was literally gob smacked when I walked in, it was just incredible. The detail, design of the statues, ceilings and walls was stunningly beautiful, it even made me want to be abit more religious! Not sure it worked its charm to that degree on Adam though. Finally, laden with our many kilos we went ...

... let beyond the confines of the roadblock when the protesters got the attention they wanted. Mexicans love to protest by screwing up traffic. They did it all the time when I was living in Oaxaca. I arrived in Tehuantepec, not really a metropolitan mecca, but the best place for me to stop en routeto San Cristobal. There were only buses that went straight through without stopping ...

... we got ourselves a room overlooking the beach. Unfortunately neither the shower or the toilet worked. But that was soon sorted by the resident handyman (a 14 year old lad!). We booked ourselves three nights to chill out and got down to the beach. We were greeted by the local lifeguard who, after welcoming us to Zipolite, made it clear he could get us anything we wanted if you know what I mean (nudge, nudge, wink, wink). To be ...

... it funny that the first order of business was cleaning the boat, then the finger.) So now I'm in a race to make it to Puerto Angel, the next anchorage 36 miles away, before sunset, since it is a narrow and rocky entrance. Unfortunately, the sun further south sets about a half hour earlier than in PV, the last time I paid attention to sunset time. So it is pretty much close to black when I pull in. Thankfully for the radar, I navigated successfully and dropped anchor in the ...
