Puerto Escondio...
Our time here has been exactly what we needed... sun, surf and relaxing! It is Semana Santa this week (Holy Week before Easter) and so there are heaps of domestic tourists here on holidays. We were told we would be lucky to find accommodation, but the first place we walked into had one room left so we grabbed it! They are charging high-season prices, but we still think a room opposite the beach with hot water and double bed is pretty good for $56 a night!
We are on Zicatella beach, one of the most famous surf breaks in the world. Apparently towards the end of the year the surf really gets going and theres lots of competitions, but for now its perfect for us with large sets (but not massive) rolling in every day. We've spent this week eating well, swimming, sleeping and generally enjoying a slower pace of life. Even with all the tourists this is still a relaxing town. There are heaps of restaurants along the beach and great bars right on the sand with fancy beds and deck chairs you can stay on if you keep ordering enough beer. Somehow we always manage :)
HAPPY EASTER!
