Puerto Escondido is a big town on the Pacific Coast. The main tourist area is the street along Zicatela beach, and this is where we spent most of our time. Zicatela has a very Byron-esque feel to it. There are a lot of decent restaurants lining the main street and cute shops selling beachy stuff.

Our typical day (or pretty much every day) in Puerto Escondido went something like this:
- Wake up in our hilltop room in Casa del Mar – great view and relatively cheap, but a little bit sucio;
- Go for a morning run/surf (me/Grey);
- Eat and/or drink something at Café Cito - the most popular café on the main street which made an awesome fish with vegetables and soy sauce (love soy sauce), and baked great bread and pastries;
- Hire an umbrella and beach chairs to sit on until sunset. Request beers and coconut juices as required. Swim, read, nap as desired. Watch skydivers continually land on the beach;
- Sunset or happy hour drinks – usually mojitos or beer, accompanied by guacamole;
- Dinner followed by more drinks at Casa Babylon or one of the bars on the main road.
We stayed in Puerto Escondido for 5 days, including over new years – and all more or less followed this schedule. Pretty relaxing.
