La Dolce Vita Ristorante-Pizzeria Mazunte

Nous voila (enfin) a la mer! Nous sommes actuellement a "San Agustinillo", pres de Puerto Escondido, sur l ocean pacifique. Notre premiere nuit sur la plage de Mazunte a ete mauvaise. Nous nous sommes retrouves dans un hostel pourri, sale et avec des pirates drogues partout....nomme "Carlos Einstein", le proprietaire "Carlos" qui, comme un vrai pirate ...

Last and probably the less developed of the beaches on the strip was Mazunte - no big multi storey concrete buildings, more ramshackle cabanas tumbling down the rocky hillside and beachside shack bars/restaurants. Found a great place, at least it was once I'd dumped my backpack, on the top of the hill with great views from my cabana and the hamaca in front. It was great exercise going out and about from there, and managed OK despite the swollen foot I'd had ...

Moved to a rustic cabana (Lo Cosmico) in the jungle on the sheltered side of a hill overlooking the smaller rocky beach to the N of Zipolite - the unfortunate thing about all of the above was that, because of the lack of breeze & dark ,tree shaded, location the mosquitos were rife - it was impossible to enjoy sitting outside of my mosquito net and with the one dim central bulb in these places, very little light could ...

... USA, Switzerland, Germay....It's equally nice to actually meet so many nationalities and have the chance to chat with so many different people, each with their own take on life, travelling etc. It's impossible to get bored. Yesterday a couple of us went out and grabbed a few coconuts from the many trees that grow around here. It´s nice to be able to crack open a fresh coconut ...

... decisions about further treatment should I need it down the road. Thanks for your concern everyone. This area has so much to offer from a nature perspective and I am in heaven absorbing all the new information. I had the great fortune of participating in a turtle release this week on the beach and that was cool. The tiny little things scrambling down to the water destined to either be fish food or an 80 year old ocean mammoth. There is a very ...

... I spent two days lounging in a hammock on the beach reading and taking in the sights and it was by far the best free entertainment I have had in months. I particularly like one of the women who works at the beach bar that was hanging at because she frequently has a joint the size of a gorilla finger (thank you Katelyn) hanging from her mouth. Ahhhhh....maybe in my next life. Puerto Angel just a little further South was not really worth the trip ...

... with a taxi driver until our bus got there. People in Mexico are jus so friendly. They love to talk to people and ask tons of questions. It's a great way to practice Spanish. Got back at 9pm, had an awesome dinner cooked by our host mother. All in all, an amazing day and so worth getting my khakis filthy! Sheiph P.S. Check out the photos if you want (for those of you on facebook) by clicking on the orange "View Original Post" Thanks!! They're awesome!

... ramshackle buildings, litter and graffitti, open sewers and blaring horns. In stifling mid-afternoon heat it was not a pleasant place to be. I checked the bus times and headed back to the zócalo (main square). In the evening I climbed the hill to the clifftop suburb of La Quebrada, which could have been in a different world. Luxury condominiums perched atop the crags overlooking the ocean as the fiery sun lowered itself imperiously towards the waves. As the last chink of ...

... neither of these things were as reassuring that I had reached my destination as what was before me. The SURF! Absolutely enormous! Even the casual wave enthusiast knows Puerto Escondido has one of the best breaks anywhere in the world. Yep, this was immediately obviously, even from where I stood way up on the hill. I was probably a mile away from the beach and could still see those enormous swells pounding the coast, creating giant clouds of white water. I was ...

... what the pharmacist was saying)!! John spotted a lizard in the room before we went to sleep. Being the brave girl that she is Kerry quickly jumped onto the bed (and was shortly joined there by John!). John was sent to check it had gone and after a couple of minutes searching for it he got bored and just told Kerry he had seen it go. After that we read the bible (i.e. our lonely planet guide) for a while before Kerry noticed that the lizard was actually still in ...
