20/10/04- 23/10/04 Puerto Escondido

Arrived in after the worst overnight journey where the air conditioning temperature was set to the equivilant temperature of a siberian winter and the drivers choice of music was worse than Pat Sharp's hair. Still no overnight journey is ever going to be good.

We did make it in time for sun rise over the Pacific Ocean, which was beautiful but in our state it was as much as we could do to find a hotel room before crashing out.

We then spent the next four days lazing by the ocean and reading our new books. We did get up occassionally and on a couple of occasions even hired bodyboards and took up the noble sport of surfing. Well our attempts weren't all that noble, mostly just getting knocked off the board and swollowing half the sea, but it was very good fun and I even mamaged to catch a few tubes... and get even more sunburnt.

This is the closest beach to the hotel, we spent most of our time here further up on a nicer beach and next door to the best beach for surfing in México, maybe even the world!
