One hundred kms shy of Puerto Escondido the temperature began to drop, the humidity receded, the landscape went from jungle to farmland and, most importantly, the site and smell of Mèxican road-kill appeared to dry up! Despite constantly sweating and a lack of clean clothes our own body odours cannot compete against the rife smell of death on the road. We've covered 1445 kms since leaving Puerto Vallarta four days ago, all of which 
has been spent on the stunning southern coastal route away from the large cities. We've spent nights at Pascuales, Zihuatanejo and Acapulco but we will now stay in Puerto Escondido until my new passport arrives. This will be sent from Mèxico City tomorrow, Tuesday 21st. If it arrives Thursday then all the planets will have aligned as both Matt, myself and our dependable steeds require a few days off before the onward push into Central America. There is also only so many times a pair of shorts can be worn before personal hygene is called into question. Right now though, we're both smelling of roses and we're off to sink a few cold ones, surprise surprise!

...the unexpected hits your, right between the eyes...
Atleast that's the way I remember the lyrics.
So, a couple of lazy days ahead of you whilst the rest of us continue to prop up the banking system with our wages, whilst simultaniously fulfilling the prophecy of recession by stuffing what little savings we have under the matress instead of spending them on high value goods down at Curry's!
Life, it's a funny old game...
(Why am I up this early?)
I'm excited to hear how this passport thing works out...
