SATURDAY 29TH JANUARY
I got up super early to catch a bus, again. I am not so sure about this 5am lark and its happening more and more often! So, another bus journey and another town, this time it was La Cruz which is described as a wasteland and i think that would be pretty accurate... Still, the hotel had a small swimming pool so I guessed it would be rude not to make the best of it so settled myself down with sunburnt bits covered up for an afternoon of basting. That didn't last too long as I got cornered by some pervy, slimy texan gringo (american tourist) who turned out to be this horrible racist man with bushy eyebrows who stood so close over me and my bikini. totally ick!
It got a lot better though as I relaxed with a beer watching the gorgeous sunset over the bay. Life could be a lot worse.
SUNDAY 30TH JANUARY
I woke up this morning with my hotel door wide open to nature which was a bit worrying - nice and secure eh? However, I finally get to do what I came here for - kitesurfing. Down at Bahia Salina after some much confusing half spanish conversation with the nus driver I arrived at the Blue Dream Hotel and kitesurfing school and perched myself on top of the van as we made our rickety way to the beach. I got a couple of hours of lessons and I even managed to get up and ride this time. woo hoo!! still, I got massive sunburn on the back of my arms and shoulders despite the suncream (does that make you hate me less.....) but i did get to see a huuuge hermit crab which was pretty sweet. The instructors were all pretty cool guys and invited me back to their accommodation for a wee party which was cool as I managed to sneak in and stay too. we had some rum (of course) but then myself and Demetrios the crazy italian sloped off as the rest started getting really stoned, not my idea of a good night. However, I wish I could stay longer and get back in the water, hmmm, maybe the next trip is starting to take form......
