Another Day in Paradise!! Waking up with no real plan is so empowering and allows one to live purely in the moment. I slept in a little and then headed around to one of my favorite beaches for a morning swim. The sun was out, the water was beautiful and I spent the morning swapping between swimming and sun baking. Around 1pm I decided to head to the main city: Pochutla - about 30 minutes away. Whilst waiting for the Pochutla collectivo there was this huge dog fig...

Private Beach!! Today we had planned to go to an afternoon Temazcal - a traditional Mexican spiritual sauna of sorts. So the morning I did some more work on the hotels website and hung-out at the hostel with Virginia and Serena. Unfortunately we had to cancel the Temazcal but the hope is we can still go tommorow. 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.

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...

After having an early breakfast and doing my yoga I packed my things ready for a trip to Zipolite (the famous nudist beach). It took me nearly 45 minutes to get a collectivo (turns out I was looking for wrong type of vehicle) out to Zipolite. Zipolite is a small resort town with a population of under 1000 people and as its quiet...

Free Day!! With not much planned today I took it easy in the morning and had a very lazy start to the day. I walked around the town a little and sat at the wharf again watching the fisherman bring in fish after fish. The sun poked its head out so I took the chance to head to the beach get some sun and see if I could get some idea of what I want to do for next month. It came to me that I am happiest and most at ease when I am near the ocean, I don't handle cities ...
