Bye bye Puerto :(

Last night was my last evening in Puerto before catching the night bus to Oaxaca so before leaving I went with a few friends to watch the sunset over Playa Carrizalillio and have a beer.  It was hard, I wasn't really keen to leave Puerto as it is such a good place, and I'd met some cool people and I like being by the beach, but I didn't want to stay too long as I don't want to miss out on anything later down the track.

So we hung out and watched the sunset, went and had some food, the sopa pasole again. Yum.  Then I hopped on the night bus to Oaxaca.  Worst sleep ever.  Luckly I wasn't queasy from the windy roads, but the constant corners and then the bus slamming on the breaks for random potholes and speed humps made for a well interrupted sleep.

I got to Oaxaca quite early, so dropped off my bags at the hostel and went for a walk.  I had been wanting to come to Oaxaca because I'd heard a few people talking about it and they all talked it up.  For me, so far the jury is still out.  I like the fantastic old and colourful buildings.  I like the markets everywhere.  I like all the crafty stuff.  However, I don't like the large amount of beggars, especially that alot seem old or disabled.  Who is supposed to be looking after these people?  I don't like the spitting everywhere, it's disgusting.  And I especially was not a fan of the old man who grabbed my arse in the street.

I think maybe once I've had some sleep the dislikes won't seem to outweigh the likes so much.

After I'd had a walk and then returned to the hostel to check my stuff in, I spent the afternoon doing some domestic chores.  Took my clothes to the laundry.  It's good, you pay like A$2 and come back in a couple of hours and it's all done for you.  After that I went and got my hair coloured.  I usually do it myself, but didn't want to in a hostel as whoever had the shower next would probably think someone had been murdered in there with the red everywhere.  But the hairdressers here was good, it only cost me like A$25.

Now time for a little planning of what to do in Oaxaca and how to get to Guatemala, then a big long sleep I think.
