Puerto is not only beautiful with stunning beaches it is also filled with surfers and so has a great night life and atmosphere. They made the view from our sun loungers even better as there were always surfers out catching waves or just walking around and with their very tanned and toned bodies they made a http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Oaxaca/Puerto-Escondido/blog-322030.html Without running the risk of crapping on about something completely irrelevant ill cut to the chase. Im very far behind in writing and with bloggable events occurring daily i better hurry upSo on to the night bus it was from Oaxaca to the famous escondido. Made sense don't have to pay for accommodation fall asleep wake up and theres the beach....easy.Well Mexican speed control had something to http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Oaxaca/Puerto-Escondido/blog-316222.html Hey everyonea quick updateI traveled the rest of the Yucatan and the states of Chiapas Oaxaca and a little bit of Veracruz for a little under 3 weeks. It was great to explore the untouched beaches with the softest white sand made out of limestone annd great winds to try kitesurfing and some sailing. I also explored a lot of the mayans ruins and used the knowledge of my past clases mainly geogr http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Oaxaca/Puerto-Escondido/blog-312526.html Deuxime partie du voyage toujours dans l'Etat de 0axaca Puerto Angel Zipolite San Jos del Pacifico http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Oaxaca/Puerto-Escondido/blog-309802.html i finally got out of oaxaca i got to puerto escondido yesterday the place is beautiful HUGE waves nice beaches good lookin women....

We ended up picking one with 50 stairs up to our room...the office was all the way to the top. Dont know what we were thinking. Puerto is on the way to becoming the next Kuta. Theres heaps of photographers and dads shooting on the beach and a constant crowd in the water. Puerto Escondido http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Oaxaca/Puerto-Escondido/blog-307211.html Saa saa man lige os tage til Puerto Escondido stillehavssiden af Mexico ankom efter en laaang bustur med ildelugtende og skrigende boern. Da vi ikke just havde sat os ind i omraadet slog vi bare op i Lonely Planet og fik en gammel taxachauffoer der lignede en bondemand til at koere os til Zicatela stranden. Her vidste han lige hvor vi kunne bo billigt..... for 500 pesos 250 DKK hos hans f http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Oaxaca/Puerto-Escondido/blog-304535.html Ok so my move to Mexico started as an adventure. I flew into Mexico City. However I wasn't aware I had to go through immigration then and there. I thought I would do it in Puerto Escondido. An immigration officer made me aware and when I got to the line it was freakin' long So I missed my connection to Puerto Escondido. I had to fly to Huatulco then take the bus to Puerto Escondido OR wa http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Oaxaca/Puerto-Escondido/blog-295083.html Thanks for all the birthday wishes and i have seen the pics of the party looked fun...shame i cant really remember it.....We went out for a meal which is considered a major treat and drank some rum how funny that you can go to a normal little shop at 2a.m and still be served booze the joys of Mexico though i drank some nasty vlod the night before as a warm up so wasnt really on it that mu http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Oaxaca/Puerto-Escondido/blog-290978.html Buenas Dias...its Tracey Nick is currently attempting to top up his tan apparently i have been banned from sunbathing as in Nicks eyes i look native therefore i am going to do a quick travel blog in hope he catches up and we can stop having comparing sessions.Firstly id like to clarify something Nick mentioned in his last blog about him being machine like in predicting the weather. What actu http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Oaxaca/Puerto-Escondido/blog-286289.html After a somewhat rough and intense time in Guatemala Puerto Escondido and San Diego were heaven In Puerto Dad and I basically spent all of our time visiting various beaches and the pool at our hotel. We moved pretty slowly and enjoyed every minute. The weather was really hot Most of the tourists in Puerto come to surf and it was super cool to watch all of the amazing surfers. People dont wear http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Oaxaca/Puerto-Escondido/blog-281396.html On the 21st of April it was time for yet another bus ride but this one was not so funny not for Kiki...The bus driver was the worst driver ever and the roads were terrible. All he cared about was getting to Puerto Escondido quickly so we were flying over the bumps in the road and almost falling out of our seats as he was turning on the curvas peligrosas. Kiki was all geared up with travel sicknes http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Oaxaca/Puerto-Escondido/blog-272363.html Haber Kubatik bueltau gitzen ia MExiko DF ra. 30 milioi pertsona uste dot bizi diela munduko hiririk handixenian ta han 6 egun in gauen centroko Zocaloko albergue baten.

The sunsets atardecer were some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Because Puerto is a small town with zero high rise hotels etc. there is a clear view of the horizon.

Not. It was a hellhole so we crashed for the night in a cheap part of town and headed straight out east to Puerto Escondido.Puerto Escondido is a nice little beach town that is famous for its surf beach. We stayed at a cool little hostel and met some great people one of which managed to recover our photos fro http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Oaxaca/Puerto-Escondido/blog-224926.html First an appology on how long it has been.

Dimanche soir pass nous sommes parties de Oaxaca et avons pris le bus de nuit pour Puerto Escondido la capitale du surf mexicaine. Je peux vous dire que http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Oaxaca/Puerto-Escondido/blog-222690.html Hello friends Today we're tearing ourselves away from Puerto Escondido a bit later than originally planned We've had a lovely and relaxing few days hanging out on various perfect beaches and well not a lot else really A bit of walking and exploring the local area and having decided trying to learn to surf in waves that massive was probably suicidal we opted for the safer option of boogie http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Oaxaca/Puerto-Escondido/blog-215021.html Puerto Escondido is breathtaking.To be fair anything is going to look good after 8.5 hours on a bumpy bus. Up to now the bus rides have been pretty good lots of leg room amusingly dubbed movies and generally not more than 3 or 4 hours in duration. However yesterday it all went down hill rather rapidly though not literally which was on the cards on a few occasionsThe toilet was worthy of G http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Oaxaca/Puerto-Escondido/blog-214266.html Weiter gings von Oaxaca nach Puerto Escondido in einem Minivan ber eine Passstrasse man kann sich den Weg ungefhr so vorstellen wie 6 Stunden die kurvige Strecke ber Obertauern zu fahren Ein mitteilungsbedrftiger Spanier der ausschlielich Spanisch spricht und ein mitternchtlicher Stop in einem zwielichtigen Dorf bei einer netten Mexikanerin die uns starken Cafe kocht unterstreichen d http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Oaxaca/Puerto-Escondido/blog-211608.html OK so inbetween mexico city and Puerto Escondido I stopped in Oaxaca city briefly but as I only stayed a day and was very hung over there isn't much to talk about except that there are some nice ruins where the Zapotec culture levelled the entire top of a mountain to build a city on I also picked up a travel mate there Simona an Italian woman who was meeting a friend in Puerto Escondido and http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Oaxaca/Puerto-Escondido/blog-211015.html After a week in Distrito Federal and visiting city after city I thought it was time for a change of pace for a bit. I headed for the Oaxaca coast to check out some of the nicest beaches along Mexico's Pacific. In order to reach Puerto Escondido I decided to go to Acapulco first in order to break up what would have been a 12 hour bus ride. Upon arrival to Acapulco I must say I was extremely disa http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Oaxaca/Puerto-Escondido/blog-205878.html After a few days of culture in the charming San Cristobal meeting some indigenous folk we headed to Puebla and the village Fran lived in a few years ago. An emotional reunion with a family of the kids that Fran taught ensued and we were invited to spend the day with them and see where they live great fun but massively humbling.Then for 2 weeks of BIG fun when our friends Carrie and Emily came out http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Oaxaca/Puerto-Escondido/blog-202703.html I have had the most beautiful environment to relax in but the universe is paying me back by striking me down with a stomach bug. I drank a bottle of 'purified'water instead of bottled spring water so maybe that's the culprit. I've managed to swim and relax with a few magazines but I had to cancel my diving. Bummer. I bumped into an Aussie couple asking for directions on the main street. Please don http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Oaxaca/Puerto-Escondido/blog-201926.html I arrived in Puerto Angel but not after some dramas.To start my adventure I took a taxi to the airport that the hotel organised. Theyre a bit pricier but I thought the convenience was worth it. But on the way to the airport we got stopped by Mexican police. Apparently its normal for them to stop drivers randomly and to ask to see their papers. When my driver pulled over he said to me in broken http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Oaxaca/Puerto-Escondido/blog-201276.html
