Day 31 - Puerto Angel

Right, so I've been here a couple of days and it's about time I wrote something. So, Puerto Angel is a small sandy cove with two beaches, one private, one public. Them's the highlights. It's not much of a metropolis, but everything a tourist would want, some bars/restaurants, a couple of C-stores, two hairdressers, a butchers, a bakers, and that's about it. I feel like I've missed something, no, I'm pretty sure that's it. I'm in the private bit, which is also pretty much public if you walk on to the beach and sit down so I'm not really sure what the big private/public deal is, but I think it has something to do with you being expected to buy drink or food from the private bit - which I would and do anyway. Oh this is getting confusing. ....I'm in a really nice cove, in a fairly nice hotel, the sun has been shining and if not all, then at least most is right with the world. 

This stop happens to mark the half way point in my journey chronologically. I booked in to stay here for 4 nights, and am taking the chance to just bum around a bit and catch up on some personal admin etc. so I don't have any particularly funny stories to share, tales of slips, trips or rip-offs, I'm just having a nice time on holiday right now. So this entry and perhaps the next couple of entries might be a bit thin.  

Everywhere I’ve stayed or eaten so far has made a point of opening bottles right in front of my face. I imagine I don’t need to explain the significance of that to anyone, but it’s a nice touch in a country that has a very poor, and in my experience at least, unfounded reputation for unofficial recycling. ...I've not been date raped yet at any rate.

I don't think these pics warrant a great deal of explanation, but it's a very cute place and I'm glad I went a bit out of my way to find this part of Mexico.

Next time I go to the beach, I’m leaving my Blu-Tak in the room. Sand and Blu-Tak are natural enemies.
