First real trauma of the trip occured at the bus station where I arrived and realised I had forgotten my passport and had 1hr10mins to do a 1hr round trip back to the hostel.

Fortunately following the creepy man to his pousada paid out big style as our room had a DVD player and there was a DVD library, which we worked our way through! Nothing much to tell other than that! The following day was a nice day so we made the decision to stay one more night. So we headed back to lopez mendez beach camera in ...
