Memorable Moment
Zipolite.

-bodysurfing in the crashing waves
-dozens of shooting stars
-lazing in newly purchased hammocks and reading intellectual novels
-drum parties and fires on the beach
-meeting some cool, friendly people. Hi to the Palapa Katy crew.
-no sore arses from riding
-huge dishes of fresh fish at "Catmonkeys"
-and yes Gus, naked women.

Highlight
Seeing someone else get a shock trying to get the light connection to work in the room, rather than getting one yourself. |
Risk Activity
A semi-choreographed triple backward slide down a steep cobbled street in Taxco, all three bikes with frontwheels locked up.
Risk Factor - 4/10, VW driver behind us with nearly burnt out clutch looked angry. |
Lowlight
Getting excited about seeing the Acapulco divers and realising we have done bombies from higher than that. |
Burn Tally
Zipolite 3: (Martin - sunburnt front and back; Jamie - sunburnt front and back; Boxy - ring burn)
