Bum!!!!

Well, as our travels draw to a close, we sit here in an internet café in Mexico city, bronzed and contented after 2 week of sun, sea, sand, surfing, good times, great people and a few too many mojitos!! And prepare for a final fling in NYC!

The two weeks of many s´ was in Puerto Escondido! A chilled beach “resort” - in a hostally chilled still Mexican influenced sense of the word. The place was perfect, we wanted somewhere, cheap, sunny, hot with a bit of a vibe and some good food, and after a little scratching beneath the surface all was satisfied. We stayed in a hostel recommended by a Belgian couple who were painting it as their friends ran it, and it was great, basic cheap and chilled. We spent our day’s sun bathing reading and surfing, which we are converts for, it’s such good fun!! Getting a good dumping by a wave is hilarious. Puerto is known as the MEXPIPE as it gets huge swells resulting in some of the best “off beach” surf in the world. Whilst we were there they held the PMX surf comp, which was great! Real good buzz.

We found a beach called La Punta, about 30 mins walk south where they have smaller perfect learner waves. It was also really quiet there. In between surfing we sat and watched Stingrays jumping (I also stepped on one!) pods of dolphins rounding up fish just off the shore, and a few ozzie guys saw humpbacks jumping!! Amazing!! And this combined with some spectacular sunsets equaled all in all a perfect end to our time in Central America, which like south has opened our eyes to so many wonderful cultures.


See you all soooo soon!!
