Surfing Puerto Escondido!! Today I was up early with the hope to get out for some waves before the massive crowds hit la Punta. My Brazilian mate got up just as I was about to leave so I waited for him and then we headed down to the point together get some waves. There were a bunch of people out already and a few surfing classes going but there was little wind and perfect crumbling waves so I was pumped. Once again I was put off by the massive amount of people an...

Puerto Escondido!! Waking up today I new it was time to go so after some breakfast I said goodbye to Flors Mum and got a lift to Pochutla with Flor. From here I had to take a bus along the coastal road to Puerto Escondido - about 1 hour north.

I walked into the neighborhood and ...

Serena's mother had told me about a beautiful beach just around the corner from Puerto Angel so I took the opportunity to walk out and check the place o...

Mazunte!! The sun was up early and so was I with another day of exploring planned. After some breakfast and some exercises I chatted with Serena and her friend Virginia and then headed up the road to try find a collectivo for Zipolite. The wait today was a lot less then yesterdays wait and the guy driving told me a fair price of 8 pesos for the trip. I really like the drive over to Zipolite - up and over the hill of Puerto Viejo and then down along the coastal pl...
