Back to the Pacific and zipolite...

Aiming for Puerto Angel, we ended up at zipolite for two nights. This is another tourist destination filled with whities, which are sometimes very nice to see after putting in 5 hours of slow, curvy road driving...
We surfed a fun little shore break for a bit and walked about enjoying some bars and seeing some damn good live music. This is another place swarming with nude people of all shapes and sizes. This is sometimes a real treat and sometimes a real bummer. We liked this place and met some nice people, including some Aussies who live in Antigua...
Camped on the beach for $100 pesos, a bit pricey, but a good location save for the dance hall reggae music blasting until about 11 each night.

Heading south (east, really) we stopped at Playa Azul and Barra de la Cruz to look at their non existent waves and shite camping operations, hitting Salina Cruz mid afternoon. This place is a dump. We don't usually drive at night but it's better than staying here, so for the second time on this trip, Northbound!!
Cheers
