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.

10 Things You Should Never Say to a Flight Attendant March 7, 2014 by Caroline Morse, SmarterTravel Staff

10 Things You Should Never Say to a Flight Attendant

Think twice before you say any of these things on a plane—unless you want your next in-flight drink to be served with a side of spit.

You've paid plenty for your coach ticket, so now it's time to relax, take a nap, maybe let your kids run wild. The flight attendant's just sitting at the back of the plane, after all—you're sure she'll be happy to watch the little darlings, right? Wrong.
"I've had passengers get mad at me because we didn't have a play area on the plane. Another passenger came to the back of the plane and asked me where she could put her baby. She didn't want to hold it," flight attendant Heather Poole told Parade Magazine. Parents, wise up: Flight attendants already have enough to do.
Fetch Me …

We all wish we had a personal butler we could summon with the ring of a bell. But despite the presence of a call button above every airplane seat, the flight attendant is not that butler. "Fetch me a blanket" is a sure way to get on a flight attendant's bad side. Use the call button only when it's really necessary. If you want a glass of water, walk back to the galley and ask for it in person.
Stewardess?

The word "stewardess" is about as contemporary as the glamorous coach-class experience of yesteryear. Both are gone forever. "Stewardess" was in vogue when women were the only people hired as flight attendants. Nowadays, it's common to see both men and women working the aisle, and the term "flight attendant" reflects this. Plus, these crewmembers do an important job aboard the plane beyond serving drinks.
Wait, What Kind Of Drinks Do You Have?
Wait, What Kind of Drinks Do You Have?

The beverage service doesn't just magically appear in front of you. The start of the service is usually announced on the PA system, along with a list of the beverages available on board that day. You might also find a card in your seatback pocket that lists what you can order (and the prices).
So if you're really craving something kind of unusual ("Do you have any Surge Soda on this flight?") or exotic ("Man, I could go for a can of cran-pineapple-berry-tang juice!"), consult your in-flight card to see if it's being served. Flight attendants hate having to run down the list of available drinks for every clueless passenger who asks. (And they'll hate you even more if you ask after they've just answered the same question for the person sitting next to you.)
Can You Help Me Lift My Bag?
Can You Help Me Lift My Bag?
(Photo: Thinkstock/iStock)
Congratulations. You've managed to cram everything you own into your carry-on bag. There's no way you're gate-checking it now, even if it does weigh 100 pounds. Who cares if you can't lift it—you'll just ask one of the flight attendants to heft it into the overhead bin for you. They're basically baggage handlers that come along for the ride, right?
You probably wouldn't think that way if you knew that 80 percent of respondents in a 2010 survey of Association of Flight Attendant members said that they had suffered injuries from carry-on bags in the past year. Also, since lifting bags into bins is not technically part of flight attendants' job descriptions, they won't get compensated if they get hurt helping you lift your bag.

Your terrorism jokes aren't funny. Ever. Instead of laughs, the joke's on you: That idle threat will get you kicked off the plane and possibly arrested.
This Drink Is Too Expensive!
This Drink Is Too Expensive!
(Photo: Thinkstock/iStock)
Yes, that drink is too expensive. But whining to the flight attendant isn't going to change anything. Do you really think the CEO of a major airline consults with the flight attendants before raising prices on drinks? Trust us, the flight attendant to whom you're complaining is not making a commission off overpriced gin and tonics. (Starting salaries for flight attendants can be as low as $14,000 per year, and there's definitely no kickback from expensive drinks in there.)
I Miss The Good Old Days Of Hot Flight Attendants
I Miss the Good Old Days of Hot Flight Attendants
(Photo: Thinkstock/iStock)
Remember the "good old days" when flight attendants were required to be young, single, and hot? Well, we bet the last flight attendant you harassed can remember the good old days when passengers were expected to be friendly, well dressed, and polite. Keep your misogynistic thoughts to yourself, you dirty old man.
I'll Turn Off My Phone In One More Minute!
I'll Turn Off My Phone in One More Minute!

Different airlines have different policies about the use of electronic devices during takeoff and landing. Once you're on the plane, though, the flight attendant's word is law. So when you're asked to turn off your phone or laptop, it means now, people. Holding up your finger to signal one more minute is rude. Stop it.
Can You Throw Away This Bag Of Vomit For Me?
Can You Throw Away This Bag of Vomit for Me?
(Photo: Stefan Krasowski via flickr/CC Attribution)
Flight attendants see enough gross stuff already. They don't need to be tasked with throwing away your used air-sickness bag or your baby's dirty diaper. Walk to the lavatory and throw it away yourself. (And if you're throwing away a dirty diaper, that raises another question: Where are you changing that kid? Please don't do it on the tray table.)

Battle of the Beaches: Oaxaca v. Chiapas March 12, 2015 § 1 Comment

My journey on the curved horizon.


Battle of the Beaches: Oaxaca v. Chiapas

March 12, 2015 § 1 Comment
Continuing our travels south, we waited on the side of the ‘highway’ (where the mountain road from San Mateo joins back up to the main carretera) with a cardboard sign that said A LA PLAYA!  It didn’t take long before a truck with a metal frame on the back (our favourite and most common pick-up) stopped and loaded us into the back.  Our ride was a group of Christian guys who were going to Huatulco to play at some Christin beach festival.  The air was fresh, the views were amazing, and we were giddy to get to lower elevations and seashores- perfection, almost.  Except for the boy that kept throwing up over the side of the truck, and no matter how loud I turned up my Marc Anthony playlist, I couldn’t cover up the retching sounds.
So, when they dropped us up in the middle of nowhere in the mountains, we didn’t complain.  The second truck that passed picked us up and took us all the way to Pochutla, from where we took a colectivo to Puerto Angel.  We filled up on tacos on the street:
PortAngelTacos
, and then hopped in the back of a French couple’s van that took us the remainder of the way to Zipolite.  After so many months, finalmente!  The ocean!  Waves and sand and salty breezes and a full moon to usher us in.  We set up our tent in the dark, next to a psychedelic reggae party.  My first view of the beach when I woke up the next morning and peaked outside was that of a naked hippie taking down his tent- we picked a good spot, it seems.
Zipolite
Nope, not bad at all:
ZipoliteSunrise
But, not perfect, we felt.  So, we rolled everything up again, put the backpacks on, and walked a few kilometers to the next seaside town- San Agustinillo.  And, as we collapsed, sweaty and exhausted, into a café for breakfast and found an available room upstairs (the only one in San Agustinillo, it seemed), we didn’t hesitate.  A delicious and cozy café downstairs and not-too-shabby of a view from the balcony?
SanAgustinilloHotelView
Sold!  And I really loved this beach.
SanAgustinilloSunrise2
Unfortunately, the red flag was up, so there wasn’t too much swimming that happened, but it was still fun to wade in the waves and jump around:
ZipoliteRedFlag
And walk the cove and admire all of the palapas:
SanAgustinilloBeachHouse
And go for morning jogs:
SanAgustinilloSunrise
My favourite part of the stay was hiking out to punta cometa for sunset; a small rocky peninsula that juts out from the shoreline in Mazunte (the adjacent town, about a kilometer west of San Agustinillo):
MazunteSunsetRock
It almoooooost felt like I was back in Scotland, with waves pounding onto cliffs:
MazunteRockyCliffs
Except that the temperature was about 30 degrees C warmer and that there were cacti:
MazuntePuntaCometaCactus
And there were a lot more people to keep us company in the sun-going-down ceremony than on secluded rock-tips on the Isle of Skye:
MazunteSunsetHorizontal
But, a little bit of similarity, no?
And it was all very beautiful, but also very hot.  It had already been rather steamy in Oaxaca the past couple of weeks, but add the seaside humidity, and it was less-than-enjoyable.  So, after less than 48 hours, we rolled everything up again and returned to the side of the road.  The first van that passed us by was headed to  Matías Romero, a city about five hours east of Mazunte.  So, we told the kind sir to take us as far away as possible from the heat.
He dropped us off on the side of the highway, right outside of La Ventosa.
LaVentosaPanorama
The name does not lie.  It was the windiest place that I have ever been in; I couldn’t stand up by myself and our heavy backpacking bags were rolling around and into the ditches on the side of the road.  We somehow inched along the highway until a run-down truck took pity on us and gave us a lift (windiest ride of my life, help!) to the next small town.  There was nothing there, other than more wind, an empty bar with bachata music, and a bus stop.
LaVentosaNothingness
By this point, it was getting dark, so we took the last bus to Tapanatepec, which was not any more inviting.  So, another bus on to Arriaga.  Not much better.  One more bus, to Tonalá.  Not any better, but is was midnight and we were kind of discouraged by our entry into Chiapas, so we checked into an overpriced and less-than-quaint hotel and turned up the AC so that it could lull us to sleep.
The next day, we moved (very slowly, as people in Chiapas do not pick up anywhere near as enthusiastically as in Oaxaca) to the coastline, for one more night on the sand before heading inland again.  Our destination was Madre Sal, an isolated strand of beach about an hour (or, in our case, six hours) southeast of Tonalá.
It took a lot of walking on little dirt roads (Our last ride was holding on for dear life, hanging out of a watermelon truck.  As a reward for surviving, we go at a watermelon.  So, we got to carry one of those with us the last couple of kilometers):
ToMadreSol
And crossed a lagoon surrounded by mangrove trees on a lancha:
MadreSolBoatCrossing
And then,  voilà, paradise:
MadreSolCabins
Madre Sal is an ecotourism project, working to conserve the land and provide a safe, isolated refuge to the turtles that come ashore in the fall to lay eggs.  As now is not turtle season, we found the place utterly empty:
MadreSolLand
Except for our friend, the Red Flag:
MadreSolRedFlag
And many flocks of seagulls flying parallel to the waves in the morning sun:
MadreSolSeaGulls2
We set up camp in the sand, under a palapa (and a clear night sky that graced us with the Milky Way):
MadreSolWindMill
We wandered around the property and had fake mojitos with the sunset and felt like we were a hundred miles away (well, I guess that we were… so, maybe more like a lifetime and a thousand miles) from the beaches of Oaxaca we were lounging at slightly more then 24 hours ago.
MadreSolCampgrounds
I suppose that both the Oaxaca and Chiapas coastlines had their pro’s and con’s.  But, the heat was similar in both.  So, reluctantly (for I love the sound of the ocean waves so much) we put our backpacks on again and continued the journey inland, toward the highlands of Chiapas and away from the sandy horizon line:

The next chapter is colder, but just a beautiful!
