wooden cart, so fcuking picturesque I could weep....
Paradisical little beaches on secluded bays, we ride down the dirt access tracks and check out the waves, private little beaches, a few odd surfistas, you can get a block of land right on the beach, and get a house built, with pool of course, and security fence of course...about 15,000USD..not too shabby for a beacho...but still, in all these little secluded beaches, all along the high tide mark, the usual detritus of plastic bottles, left thongs, paper, placky bags, all the usual shit!!..
The security fences and stuff are really more noticable here..the woman in the corner store is virtually a prisoner, the whole shop is a steel cage and she lives in there with a fcuking great dog...and everyone has dogs, and they´re surprisingly well fed, and mostly wellbehaved, wherever you stay the dogs seem to know straightaway that you´re ok

The only stand out buildings seem to be churches, new evangelical reed especially, just hope itsnot tied to the aid packages but supect it is...

Then to Zonte, another famous surf spot, aroud the coast and some more speccy roads, some of the longest turning corners I´ve ever seen, some of the must e atleast 270 degrees, just unbelievable, and perfect shape and camber, awesome, and then the tunnels ...oh an, around the corner and into the black hole...the longest was over 500 meters so alls you see is a little light way ahead, andwith the sunnies on, and the scratched visor, another horror stretch!

Looking down off the road, I glimpse a family gathered at their table in front of the house having brekky, the kids in immaculate school outfits, all at the rough plank bench on trestle benches...thre do seem to be lots of schools along the way, but also lots of kids out at work as well!
I think I just saw a sign saying ¨Jesus is saliva´ but I´m not sure
Then to the Horizonte Surf Camp, afabulous little hotel place with little bungalows with air con and fans for us...and tiny cramped rooms for the el cheapos..anda communal area, fridge full of beer and a pool even...and just down the back is the beach, and a few little eateries, sort of one step up from a true palapa but still pretty basic...but great licuardos, sorts smoothies, and cerviches, and fried fish, and they know how to make real chips.andall aroundthe compound, rolls of razor wire and electric wires as well!..

Funny how we were getting really sick of every time we´d stop for a drink they´d bring out the bowl of salsa and pile of chips...like someties you´d just want toscream...but now, hanging out for a good salsa and chips, or maye a guacamole...it all ended in Mexico..a fine tradition that should be continued.

Time to get kicked outa here...trouble sending too...aaarrggghhh...only to be expected..in a 600 year old building with computers built around the same time....hasta
