Sea, sun and…erm…ganja?
... and find out where I was from. It was a wonderful experience. The village is only small and doesn’t have much to offer to the visiting tourist except for a taste of something completely different as well as a beautiful beach (still fairly littered, it has to be said), more crashing waves and a warm and relaxed feel that I haven’t experienced anywhere else in central America.
