In Oaxaca!
Well, I´ve finally made it here to Oaxaca - had a very long day of travelling yesterday. I flew from Curacao to Bogota the night before, stayed in the Sheraton (ooh get her!) for a nice night of pampering and then I flew from Bogota to Mexico City yesterday morning, which took 5 hours. Then I hot-footed it to the bus station and leapt on a bus to Oaxaca, which took 6 and a half hours. Very tedious journey! So I got here last night and just went to bed really.
I got up this morning and straight away met some lovely people. There are actually quite a few English here, so I´ve spent the day exploring with a couple of lovely English girls from the hostel. Oaxaca is really beautiful - one of the nicest places I´ve visited so far. It´s really pretty and traditional looking, but still has lots of nice cafes and restaurants in the plazas to watch the world go by. And the shopping is amazing! Am having to be very disciplined, but have only been up and about a couple of hours and have already bought a purse and a skirt. I was initially only going to stay here a couple of days, but I think I´ll extend it and spend less time somewhere else, it´s just so lovely!
Well, have to go, we met a nice bloke (tour guide) who has offered to take me and my new buddies to see some of the local sights for next to nothing, so will write all about that tomorrow!
sounds lovely Anna, looks as if you are making the most of your time out there……Steve
