Wah …tool … ko

Hola from Meh … hee … ko

We pulled into tiny Santa Cruz bay in the municipality of Huatulco well before sunrise … we had a tour booked for later in the morning so we decided to go for a long early morning walk. Very hot and humid, (but not nearly as bad as later in the day).

This early, Sunday morning was quiet … but we found some brave locals out on a fun run …

It’s a very pretty tropical environment. The area is devoted entirely to tourism, here there has been sensible egological control, and the scale is much smaller than Cabo.

After about 2km, in the center of town, we found quiet little streets …

… and a pretty town square …

The Mexicans love colour … Jan found another green wall to lean on … this one a primary school right in town …

Back to Santa Cruz, things still quietly waiting for a busy day’s business …

We then boarded our tour boat in the little marina …

… and wandered up and down the beautiful coastline … jungle down to the cliffs and mostly deserted sandy beaches …

… then we hopped on a bus for look around … a couple of nice views and past a small handful of nice looking resorts … and back to the town centre we had visited earlier.

Lunch time … time to go …

… this time escorted by the Mexican navy! (According to our tour guide, the 2000 local military personnel spend all their timepatrolling to stop illegal immigrants trying to get IN to Mexico fromthe south … figure that out!)
