Sea breezes

---

My last days in Puerto Escondido were pretty good. I found this great hostel up on the hill overlooking Zicatela Beach with the most amazing views. I bought myself a locally made hammock that I strung up on the balcony. Now I really do know the meaning of unwinding. Falling asleep in a swaying hammock in the afternoon with gentle breezes blowing up from the sea. Every time you lazily open an eye, a sweeping panorama before you reminds you of the beauty that seems to be a purely Pacific Ocean experience. I will definitely be staying at Senorita Maria’s idyllic hostel next time I’m back in Puerto.

I also met a lovely girl called Alex from New Mexico in the States. She was studying Spanish at the Language Institue as well. Most afternoons we ended up at a beautiful beach called Playa Carrizalillo where there was a fun little wave breaking into the bay. Alex was working on her surfing so it was perfect for her. She's moving to New York after her holiday to Mexico so good luck with it babe and I'll hopefully see you there in a little while.

As for surfing Puerto Escondido, the swell never picked up properly after that first session when I arrived so I never got to see Puerto at it's best. I still surfed the place enough to be happy and I did manage to get a couple of fun little barrels. The best thing is that after surfing every day I'm feeling pretty fit and ready to have a crack at the next spot on my hit list. G-land in Indonesia...

Here’s some pics of the last few days I had in Mexico.

This shot shows the view a little better

Playa Carrizalillo
Beautiful, no?

Walking down to the beach
Alex was too good at rock-scissor-paper and got to carry the light board

Dusk
It was so good in the water that sometimes you didn't want to come in. Surfing till sundown was very tempting

Dude - I just used up the last tea bag from our supply. (The red Sainsburys box that you really like).
