I have to say straight from the get go, i was a little disappointed. Maybe i didn`t give it a proper chance, or maybe i just wasn`t feeling it but there was no love. I left after 1 and a half days onto somewhere different.
After leaving the Aussie girls in Puerto Escondido, i met up with them again in S.C.D.L.C. After a VERY long and windy overnight bus to arrive there i wasnt too much up for socialising so went for a little walk to more markets and slept the afternoon away.
I pretty much spent most of my time in S.C.D.L.C trying not to spend all my money on all the awesome craft goods for sale.
The girls and I hit up a really nice Middle Eastern restaurant for dinner which made for a great change from Mexican food. I know people would kill to eat the food over there but its just not my thing. Hit me with an awesome curry or stir fry any day. Dinner was great followed by a funky little band at the Revolution Cafe... chill cafe by day, crazy happening night spot later on. It seems to be the trend to have places like this in Mexico. I love it! The best of both worlds. The band themselves i couldn't even put a name to the type of music they were playing but i kept thinkig they would be the best support act for someone like The Cat Empire. For those that know me well, you will know how much i love the Empire. Hence, i had a wicked night.
The following day was pretty low key. I spent it do 'chores'. Sending postcards, buying groceries (yes i have been cooking over here), grabbing my bus ticket etc. It's funny how even the most mundane tasks are actually quite fun in another country. I chilled out, watched an awesome DVD 'Gone, Baby, Gone' (its a thinker) an lazed on the hammock while a storm passed by through town. A GOOD day!
Early night and another epic bus journey the next day to Palenque. Not quite the 13 hour journey i did a couple of days before but still a good 7 hours or so.
So thats San Cristobal De Las Casas done!
