Villa Mozart y Macondo Puerto Escondido

... afterall, oh well who cares, there was a pool. Aside from getting eaten alive by the night bugs (I'm still wondering how they got through the mosquito net), the cabana lived up to the hype. We could have stayed there for days, weeks, but we eventually decided we could be beach bums at home if we wanted, and we weren't getting to see Mexico like this, so we organised tickets on a microbus to Oaxaca city.

... because he was one of those persons who was not aware of how loudly he spoke.<br><br>On the &#8220; Zona Adoquanda&#8221; we also struck up a conversation with &#8220;Mike&#8221; from our present hometown of Prince George, BC. Mike assured us that Puerto Escondido had not lost its reputation as a destination of choice for young backpackers who were attracted by the sun and fun. It seemed he was recovering from the &#8220;fun&#8221; as on this ...

... convey the feelings of pain and despair that the circus instilled. Which was a shame because the opening act was fairly promising. A crazy looking Portuguese guy with long hair and a twitchy look in his eyes was doing the old juggling act that every circus must have..... except he messed up every time. To his credit though he persevered until he eventually pulled off the act in the end. After Juggling man came the double ...

Nopala, one of the guidebooks had recommended, as an unspoilt town surrounded by many attractions in the hills and boasting some stellae (carved standing stones) in good condition. The reality was as follows; the sugar cane presses only operated sometimes and early in the morning and I couldn´t get there without a guide who didn´t know when they would be working. The 6 stellae, one of which was in good condition were embedded in the walls of ...

... by the awesome power in the ocean. The view was beautiful and the sun was setting. At the end of the path was a lighthouse, and when I reached it, I turned back towards town. It was beautiful. I was glad I had the opportunity for the walk- felt like I was almost lead down the path... like it was God´s way of saying "hey, look at this." My only regret, having given up on finding another place to run ...

... are nearby. I think I´m going to love it here, we were originally thinking just 2 nights but after first impressions we have decided to stay for 3! Mark 30/5: Lazy day was on the cards and this involved a walk down to the other end of the beach for 1.5hours where we passed 15 sea snakes washed up on the beach (only slightly venomous) and heaps of puffer fish. For those unaware Becs has a big phobia to serpants and while we were ...

... he asked her if she was rich, I was going to reply that as the old guy he had to be the rich one, all Milli had to do was look pretty, so it's probably a good thing I kept my mouth shut. But before I go any further with this I'll back track. The last place we stayed at, The Tower Bridge Hostel, was a hole. a deceptively oasis like hole, but a hole none the less. you can read my review on TripAdvisor here: www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g15 3373-d614813-r14418170 ...

Well, we all had great sleeps.  Our room was pretty modest for an all inclusive.  It was supposed to have been 4 stars but I would put it more at 3 stars.  On the other hand, I didn't feel like a "rich foreigner" for staying there like I have felt in the past at other all inclusives.  We went for breakfast after our welcome orientation and ...

... in clouds, just like the road and the bus. We stopped a number of times between Puerto and Oaxaca to pick up random passengers and after seven hours next to an old Mexican man who sounded like he was trying to regurgitate his own lungs the entire bus trip, I can safely say that I will make the effort to visit the first-class bus station earlier in the future. I could go on forever, really I could, but I will allow the photos, now, to do the rest of the talking.

... a flash card/memory stick for when we use the internet places. I didn't want to waste time composing this travel log, there, when I could leisurely do it on my laptop and then use the flash card to transfer and post them, etc. I found this travel blog online that's free, so I started using it, as you can see, to tell about our travels. I used to have another one that I dropped because it was not free and was more difficult to ...
