Arriving at the bus terminal, feeling pretty tired after a disturbed nights rest (to put it bluntly), I was not in the mood to be ripped off. As I had previously done this journey a week before for $35 pesos I was not best pleased with the $200 pesos price even from the counter within the terminal recommending you use these for your safety...and their profit! I walked passed and went to the street and managed after a short while to find a guy who would put th...

After heading down to the beach while waiting for a response, we were laid on the beach and the guy we messaged online happened to bump into us (a nice thing about small towns!) and asked if we wanted to check out his place and see if we wanted to stay. After talking for a while we headed over and we couldn't believe our luck! It was a lovely villa with a pool.

It is very pretty like most cities I've visited but it has a strong European feel. As it was lunch time when I arrived I grabbed lunch at a nice cafe a...

Once in Oaxaca after another long and very winding road we checked into our hostel and went on the hunt for some brekkie! After exploring the market for a traditional meal we quickly exited after walking past various animal hooves, crickets and other unsavoury things for 7am. We made a run for the nearest nice cafe and ordered some food. Although the food was fine we did realise the etiquette in Central America is drastically different from the UK and Australia...
