PUERTO ESCONDIDO & ZIPOLETE

WHERE:Puerto Escondido and Zipolete, then back to Puerto Escondido
WHERE (less detailed): the West Coast of Mexico
WHEN: 2st July to 6 Aug - our longest stay in one (actually two places) on the entire trip
WEATHER IS: beautiful sunshine, but a little cloudy a couple of days

FOOD IS: home cooked, and then through a straw for paul after his surfing accident
A MEAL COSTS: still managed to find a couple of cool burrito/taco places where dinner was $9

A BEER COSTS: thanks to the fridge in our room we bulk bought Corona's which came in at 49p a bottle
PEOPLE ARE: very nice, apart from the fat American who owned our hotel who Rhaani didn't like because he didn't ask how Paul was after the surf accidient

HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS: up until Paul's accident the place was great, right next to the beach, lovely little pool, Paul actually mastered surfing to an extent until his surfboard attacked him... he should have realised things were not heading his way when the surf ripped one of his surf boots off the day before ... picking a piece of the surfboard out of Paul's teeth ... a trip to a non-English speaking dentist was an experience, as was his use of thick black thread rather than dissolving stitches ... four days of yoghurt and slurping wasn't fun for either of us ... above all the most enjoyable aspect was not having to pack up our bags every other day.



UP NEXT: Mexico City
