after about a 6000 mile trip HERE WE ARE ! Air France did a fairly good job of getting us here with help of City Jet and Mexicana click. The journey was pretty faultless. Ali and Ed met us at Huatulco airport in very hot sunshine, from where we journeyed by airconditioned bus the two hours or so it takes to get to Puerto Escondido. We had lunch on arrival at our hotel which none of us could finish the quantity was so great. Having finished lunch at about 3pm we sat for half an hour or so admiring the view from our upper rooftop terrace. The the fun started .. we decided to walk along the beach to casa AliEd which was indeed enjoyable even though we could feel a few spots of rain on the way. We arrived just in time to be reminded that we are in the Tropics!! The tropics doesn't do "spots of rain" Anyway to cut a long story short we caught abus back (really glad Ali and Ed were with us ...we would have had no clue of the local transport "structure" HA! We.re back in the hotel appartment now and Ali and Ed are cooking Spag bol for us all which we will no doubt enjoy with copious amounts of red wine and exciting lightning effects and thunder and rain as accompaniment. Glad we had some sunshine in Droitwich ;-)
