Blogs from Zipolite, Oaxaca, Mexico, North America - page 2

Enfin la còte tant esperee... Loin du de l Atlantique... Un estomac renouvelle et plusieurs rencontre interessantes. Depuis toujours, je suis un fervent de la cote Pacifique. Julie pour sa part ne l avait pas frequente. L eau y est est chaude et merveilleuse, peupler d activites des plus sympathiques et alimenter par une temperature parfaite. Les vagues alimentent les fantasmes du sportif, les plages chauffent le dos des baleines (heureusement il y en a peu) et le climat y est chaud et quelque peu venteux. La plage parfaite quoi. Lors des dernieres nouvelles, nous etions a oaxaca en transit vers puerto escondido. Le nom de Veracruz fut vaguement mentionne, mais rapidement oublie. Cette ville pleine de promesse fut toutefois un Synonyme de Waterloo; elle aura permis d alleger nos poches allegrement en plus d en ... read more

Zipolite, only about an hour bus ride east of Puerto Escondido is fabled as southern Mexico's perfect chill spot and recommended by several friends I met in Puerto. Zipolite was one of the most picturesque beaches I've ever seen and I had the place virtually to myself! Zipolite is a tranquillo place where I got to sleep in an open air hammock about 100 paces from the ocean, it doesnt get much better than that!! The first day we went on a snorkeling tour that took us to 4 beaches as we swam with sea turtles, jellyfish and all sorts of weird looking fish and then went cliff diving off a 30 foot high rock!! All this for just $12!! At nighttime we all hung out on the beach and had a bonfire as we reminisced ... read more

Route since TulumHi all!!! I am not dead!! A quick note to tell you I have sprinted across Mexico since Tulum like a mad man. Palenque: Jungle + Ruins + Waterfalls Oaxaca : City + Mountains like the Alps + Chipolinas Veracruz : Ugly beaches and Port Chachalacas : Dunes of gray sand and a lot of wind And today I arrived in Zipolite to crash down for a couple of days. I have to go and look for a Cabaña now, so I can hang my Hamac and recover from an exhausting-excellent week!!! I had too much of a good time to upload pictures, and there was not so much internet around... But I'll post Photo's, video's in the coming days. LOVE TO THE WORLD May peace prevail The Magic is in your Head Cosmic ... read more

ENGLISH Zipolite: Haven for nudists, the weeded out, bean curd addicts, Bob devotees and the meditative. There's a beautiful beach here and though it's only a few miles from Puerto Escondido it's a world apart. After the sun set in the sea, there were oil burning torches to light our way to the reggae bar, replete with hammocks. Sustenance was provided by way of quesadillas and of course oversized beers (at just 15 pesos) and tequila (the finest Jimador Reposa... read more

The journey began again today, in reverse. Derek picked me up at my place on the beach. Since Steve (the traveling Englishman) was leaving this day as well, we gave him a ride to the bus station. We took a bus from Pochutla to Huatulco, which was about a 1 hour ride. Derek had to use the bathroom so badly that the bumps and stops and starts of the bus made "holding it" excruciating to him, which entertained the children in the seat in front of us. I flew from Huatulco back to Mexico City. On the plane, I was seated next to a man who asked me questions about my trip, about Zipolite, about myself. He apparently thought I was Mexican as well, although my non-flowing Spanish probably revealed me as an American. He told ... read more
