A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .
Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.ivan

WAVE OF THE SUMMER: PUERTO FINALLY DELIVERS
WAVE OF THE SUMMER: PUERTO FINALLY DELIVERS
Last Friday night, the generally bustling Zicatela beachfront was quiet. Quiet, that is, except for the Pacific Ocean unloading thunderous crashes a few hundred yards off the main drag. Some glasses clinked and laughs resounded in a couple of bars, sure. But there were no wild parties. No surfers running amok. Because Saturday morning, this summer's wave drought would finally be over.
How'd we know? Simple. We asked Surfline forecaster Jon Warren.
"At the end of July, an intense storm in the Southeast Pacific rapidly developed a strong fetch very well aimed to the north toward Mexico," he explained. "With the help of strengthening high pressure ridging in behind the storm, the winds in this system reached speeds up to 45-55 knots. The result? A very solid, long-period south groundswell running straight into Puerto Escondido."
This is the kind of forecast that prompts certain chargers to pack up a couple rhino chasers, book last-minute flights and make their way to Puerto's Playa Zicatela to receive the energy.
"It was amazing to finally have some solid swell here in Puerto this season," frequent visitor Greg Long admitted. "There was a great crew who flew in for the swell and, as usual, the local boys were on it and charging."
Saturday morning proved a somewhat friendly warm-up session for guys like Mark Healey, Skindog, Alex Gray, Gavin Beschen and others. While the long-period energy slowly filled in, the real bombs were few and far between. But a handful of guys -- including local standout Oscar Moncada -- rousted a few eight-foot drainers and everyone conceded that this had been some of the biggest surf at Puerto Escondido thus far during this abnormally slow season.
As the swell peaked, Sunday morning proved heaven for some and hell for others. Rusty Long took the wipeout of the day during the morning's opening set. The Puerto regular elevator-dropped into a 12-footer; his fins caught mid-face and sent him cartwheeling to oblivion. He surfaced with a dislocated shoulder and claimed it was his "worst wipeout ever at Puerto Escondido." Which is saying a lot, since he's been surfing here for nearly 13 years.
Around 10:45am, his brother Greg bookended the memorable morning by snagging what many claimed as the unofficial Wave of the Summer thus far. Long split a monster peak with Mark Healey and drove through a heavy 10-foot section on a right. Riding a 9'7" quad, he was completely out of sight as the beast went square; he emerged with the spit and tucked back in for a final thread of the needle. The beach erupted with hoots and whistles as Long straightened out and made his way in to the scorching Mexican sand.
After smiling at a few onlookers, Long immediately inquired, "How's Rusty? I heard he dislocated his shoulder. Should I go back out or quit while I'm ahead?" he pondered. "I think I'm going to call it a morning and go check on my brother."
Before he left the beach, Puerto top gun Coco Nogales congratulated Greg on his stellar wave with a subtle hint of envy. "It's not about the money, Coco," Greg offered up. "You know we're all always out there looking for The One."
But in between the Long brothers' yin and yang, a bevy of memorable thrills and spills went down. North Shore cowboy Mark Healey lassoed a few bucking broncos. Danilo Couto and Puerto first-timer Kohl Christensen wrangled a few rogue bombs, while Danilo quipped, "The whole experience here is amazing -- it's such a challenging wave to ride."
After his first go in the heavy stuff, Kohl quipped, "There was a moment during the biggest part of the swell where I wasn't quite sure if I was excited to be in the right spot or not."
Coco and Oscar both got in the mix as well, solidifying their position amongst the world's best. Aussie underground charger Chris Louger locked into a hotel-room-sized death chamber filled with hissing, breathing spit.
Of course plenty of carnage occurred, keeping the Zicatela lifeguards on constant alert, as well as dragging a handful of helpless, floundering chargers out of Puerto's 12-foot dumping grounds before they got too recycled in the frothy rip currents.
As Sunday's afternoon onshores tickled the heaving lips of the still-pulsing surf, Coco revved up his ski for a tow-in bravado while Healey, Kohl, Greg, Alex and Danilo paddled the giant lefthander at Carmelita's. The crew also returned for the evening offshores as the swell period dropped a tad, prompting massive A-frames to detonate at Zicatela's main peak.
And while PWC-assisted rides don't count towards the Wave of the Summer's $15,000 prize, there's still over three weeks left in the event...and also plenty of swell hanging around Puerto throughout August. For now, it appears Greg Long has a solid chance at the title, but it's ultimately up to the judges...and other surfers still have plenty of opportunity to step up. But one thing is clear: the Southern Hemisphere doldrums are finally over. Especially here at Playa Zicatela.

Adventures and Giggles: Week 3: Puerto Escondido After our long bus ride (8 hours) we arrived in Puerto Escondido. I have been hearing about this place for 4 years now as it is Micah's favorite place in Mexico. adventuresandgiggles.blogspot.com/.../week-3-puerto-escondi...
Week 3: Puerto Escondido
Ver Puerto Escondid en un mapa más grande
We barely made our bus out of Acapulco. The taxi driver that was supposed to
pick us up to take us to the bus station for our early morning bus never showed
up. We almost gave up and stayed another day. We were already late when a
taxi finally arrived but we went for it anyway. We arrived at the station 15
minutes late but the bus had not even showed up yet! Now we are thankful
for the late Mexican buses!
After our long bus ride (8 hours) we arrived in Puerto Escondido. I have been
hearing about this place for 4 years now as it is Micah's favorite place in
Mexico. It is a small kind of touristy town of about 20,000 people and of course
there is surfing! Since Micah has stayed here before he had a place in mind
for us to go the first night we got here which was good because it was a
no-brainer and we were tired. The unfortunate part was it was a hostel with
a small palapa type room with 2 bunk beds and a fan. There were a lot of
young french travelers there and the music was bumping all night. We did
not get a whole lot of sleep that night except maybe Nev who can pretty
much sleep through anything. Anyway, after 2 weeks on the road I was
wanting or needing a little more comfort (at least for a couple of days) and
I was being a little grumpy. The next morning we set out to look for another
place to stay. We checked out one place that was ok but not the most
inviting place to stay but we decided to go have breakfast and think
about it. Micah had seen a little cafe earlier that morning so we went
there and the women there were wonderful. They cooked us a great
breakfast and they absolutely adored Nev. Turned out they had a little
studio apartment to rent for 700 pesos a night. This was a bit out of
our range of what we wanted to pay but it was really nice and had
everything we wanted plus a kitchen which could save us money on
food. We decided to do it and we ended up staying 8 nights. It was
exactly what I needed!

and arm. He hurt it again right before we left Acapulco. The chiropractor
was an American living in PE and he was awesome! He did a little
adjustment on Nev but said his elbow was dislocated too. He popped
it back in real quick and it seemed to do the job. He has had no
problems since. We spent most of that day in town. Micah got a shave
and Nev got a haircut. He was very apprehensive about getting
his haircut so we had to force him. But as soon as the guy started with
the clippers he realized it was not going to hurt and he was good
with it. Afterwards he was very proud of his haircut. We also went
to the Mercado which is the big town market with all the vendors
selling everything from produce to meat to toys and clothes. We
grabbed some stuff to cook and some lunch. Unfortunately I think
I may have gotten sick from what every I ate there for lunch.
A couple days later I got a real bad upset stomach and a fever.
This pretty much laid me up in bed for 2 days. After a lot of rest and
some meds I felt better.

Playa Carazillio |
We did get a couple trips to the beach in before I got sick. Playa Carazillo
is a rock cove that is walking distance from where we were staying.
We hung out there for a bit until it started to rain. We headed
back right when the rain started to pour down and the
thunder and lightning was so close. Nev got a little
scared and didn't like being wet so I had to
carry him and cover him with my sarong.
He hugged my shoulder tightly and
quietly the whole way back.

After I was feeling better, Micah took off for a couple of days
to go on a surf trip to Chachaua. We didn't all go
because it seemed like it may not have
been the best trip for Nev to go
on for safety reasons, plus we had
already paid for the apartment. Turns
out the place was pretty safe and Micah
had a lot of fun and wished we had all gone.
Well maybe next time. I can definitely see myself
returning here.
Nev and I had a good time together. We went to the
beach both days. One day at Playa Zicatella and one
day at Playa Angelita. It was pretty relaxing!
Our last night at Puerto Escondido was on Micah's birthday.
That evening we went to the beach because we heard they
would be releasing a bunch of baby sea turtles on the beach and
the kids get to release them. There were a lot of people there and
unfortunately Nev did not get one of the turtles but a lady next to us let
him touch the one she had. Then they were all let go and we watched
them make there break for the water. It was pretty amazing seeing these
little turtles (they can fit in the palm of your hand) scurry there way towards
the water and for some only to get washed back up shore to try it again. Once
they got in the water they take off swimming. It was a pretty cool experience!

Afterwards, we took Nev on a little horseback ride down the beach.
Nev thought that was pretty cool but he kept saying "I don't have a
hat". He wanted to look like a real cowboy. And the night ended
with a gorgeous sunset!
All in all our stay in PE was comfortable and relaxing! The next morning we left Puerto Escondido
on an early bus. Sonia the women who owns the place where we
stayed came out to see us off and say good-bye. That was very
sweet of her. She, her husband and their daughter Sylvia who
ran the restaurant really enjoyed having Nev around. We told
her "Hasta Luego" because I think we shall return someday.

Top tips for safe travel Mark Broadhead 7 June, 2012
Top tips for safe travel
Mark Broadhead
The world isn’t dangerous or unsafe. Quite the opposite. There are some desperate places and people, even in your home town, but these are a minority. In fact, you’re more likely to get into trouble at home than travelling if you follow these common sense tips on your trips.
1. Back (packer) glance
Get in the habit of looking back when you get up to leave somewhere. Travel is very distracting, and you’re probably carrying more stuff than when you’re at home, so you’re more likely to leave a jacket or journal at that Parisian cafe table where you were people watching.
2. Separate your sources of money
You know how you keep all your bank cards in your wallet/purse when you’re at home? Well, don’t do this while you’re travelling. Keep at least one in a different place, preferably not on your person. If you lose all your cards on the road it is very difficult to get replacements, and being without money in Timbuktu can be kind of unfun.
3. Don’t keep your wallet/purse in your jeans’ back pocket
To avoid being pickpocketed, keep your wallet in your front pocket, especially a pocket that can be buttoned up. Best of all, use the inside pocket of your jacket. There are also a load of different ‘money belts’ (see examples here) that either hang inside your shirt or wrap around your waist (under your shirt), etc. Make sure it’s waterproof because travelling can often be sweaty/perspiring work. I’d advise against the bum bag/fanny pack varieties. There is no better way to advertise the fact that you have a load of valuables on you…and, of course, they were never ever cool.
4. Scan all your major documents
Scan your travel documents and email them to yourself. It was traditional to photocopy your passport and visas, travel insurance etc, and keep them in a separate part of your luggage. But that’s old school. These days, digital is best – that way your documents won’t go missing even if your bags do.
5. Don’t trust strangers who wear turtle neck/polo neck tops
Only kidding about the turtle necks. It is hard to get to know the locals at a destination if you don’t trust them, but there are limits to how much you should trust them when it comes to your personal safety (going with them into a risky area of town), money, and consuming their food or drink (if they are not consuming it themselves). Do a search on Lonely Planet’s Thorn Tree forum for the latest scams that travellers have reported for where you are going. Also, look at the ‘Dangers and Annoyances’ sections in your Lonely Planet guidebook and ask your hotel/hostel staff for safety tips.
6. Get travel insurance
This is mainly for health costs if you get ill or injured while abroad. Hospital costs can quickly get into the tens of thousands of dollars, even for a minor injury. Insurance is worth it. We recommend these guys.
7. Get vaccinated
Visit your doctor before you leave to get all the relevant vaccinations/immunisations for the destinations you’re visiting, and to learn what health precautions you should follow.
8. Avoid PDAs
I mean Public Displays of Affluence (not affection). If you’re travelling abroad then you’re more than likely to be richer than most of the locals, but advertising this fact by wearing gold jewellery or carrying a $2000 camera around your neck is not advisable. It makes you a target for thieves. Leave your jewellery at home and keep your camera in a bag when you’re not using it.
9. Some things are best perfected at home
It may seem like a breeze, but be advised that teaching yourself to ride a motorbike or jet ski in a foreign country is probably unwise. In Thailand, for instance, 38 people a day die in scooter accidents. Nb some travel insurance policies won’t cover scooter-related injuries.
10. Check the fine print and certificates of instructors
If you’re doing a specialist course (scuba diving) or something risky (bungee jumping) then check the operators have legitimate qualifications and a good safety record. There’s usually a reason a course is cheaper than the others. PADI has a list of qualified diving operators here.
11. Don’t leave your belongings unattended in public spaces
This is so obvious that I am embarrassed to mention it, but people do it all the time. Most notably, travellers leave their bags at their feet or hanging from the back of chairs when they’re at cafes or restaurants. Either keep them on your lap or wrap its strap around your leg.
12. Give it up
There is a simple rule that people find hard to follow: if you are mugged, give over your wallet, watch etc. This shouldn’t be a problem if you have insurance and you’ve left all your irreplaceable stuff (eg grandma’s necklace) at home. Just do it, and walk away uninjured.
13. Don’t give to beggars
There are exceptions to this rule, such as monks seeking alms. But, in general, don’t give away money to people on the street. Apart from the fact that you may have to get your wallet/purse out, encouraging begging is not the most efficient use of your money (and goodwill). If you want to help out then do some volunteer work in the destination or donate some money to a local charity for the homeless or loan some money to a poor entrepreneur via Kiva.
14. Be wary of using your credit card at an internet cafe
Internet cafes’ computers may have keylogger software or hardware that records your key strokes, so unscrupulous characters (not necessarily the owners of the cafe) can see the username and password to your online accounts (banking, email etc) or grab your credit card details. A good trick to make this more challenging for them has been proposed by Thorn Tree user Karlo: open a couple of other browser windows (for the website you are using) and half way through entering your passwords or credit card information type incorrect information into these windows.
15. Don’t pat stray dogs and cats
This is more of a ‘note to self’ than to you, after a stray dog tried to pull my thumb off in Buenos Aires. You may be missing your pets at home, but stray animals may be carrying rabies and other fun infections (and big teeth). You should also not feed monkeys, for the same reason. (Pictured above is me with an affectionate Siamese cat in Bangkok — who belonged to this store owner.)
16. Your worst enemy may be your travel companion
Often your travel companions will take risks that compromise your safety. They’ll ask for help from people that you wouldn’t go near, they’ll aggravate a situation with arrogance, or they’ll break any number of the no-nos mentioned above. Don’t submit to their peer pressure. Stand your ground. And if they continue to be unsafe then consider parting ways.
