Thu 1950 back at host prob heading out on vague hope of seeing pink Floyd covers at nearish bar soon.
Bit earlier went out for walk and bought a new razor just after dark and group was playing poss mambo in bandstand kiosk type place and I realised you could go up so I went in and watched for a bit and that was quite cool.
Got up a bit early with view to going over to el arcotete but I was a bit slack and thought I did get up earlyish at 0815ish I also hung around having coffee after so didn't head out until 1015ish. I wandered over to where guidebook and organic maps showed colectivo to el arcotete and although it wasn't super promising I did spot a minibus for past as I was wandering around and flagged it down and got it over there no fuss. 25 for entry to ea ans no differential pricing. It was small but quite nice, I wandered the trails and pseudo medirated a bit and got slightly lost. The caves (15 pesos, but included in the 25, I got two tickets for my 25) were actually super cool and easily the highlight of the park. I didn't see any actual option to do the ziplining or go on a lancha but I wasn't too upset about either of them.
I then came back and had not bad but tbh slightly disappointing butter chicken and jeera popadoms at Madhava? And then I think I wandered around a bit more and came back to hostel and extended for another night.
I did during my evening walk head over to coffee bean ho(s)tel as mentioned on posters in this one and it does look kind of cool and I just may head over there eg tomorrow night and check the bar out.
2004 very very enthusiastic nonstop talking canadian woman talking about "peoples reset" conference which this hostel seems to be promoting a bit in kitchen and while I only like 10% agree with the kind of stuff being discussed to be fair it doesn't sound entirely wanky but this was (conversation has stopped now) somewhat annoying.
I think internet is down but never mind.
Fri 0031 that worked out almost insanely well.
The bar (jacks) with the maybe pink Floyd band was shit. They clearly didn't want solo people like me. I was offered two tables, neither good, and when I asked the music was on at 10 and it was about 845 at this point. Beer also about twice sane price. I wanderd over towards coffee bean but it seemed shut so went in Jules next door and had some nice artisanal beer and some peculiarly 60s esque pink Floyd weirdly independent music feelong music and they also played Smith's "panic" and I got chatting with barman Aziz (sp?) From aguascalientes who grew up in Georgia but spoke to me on Spanish and met a guy a year older than me from Oregon and was recommended a bar (el paliacate?) Near-ish centre and @lao it turns out Aziz worked here at my hlstel for a couple of months and asked me to remember him to people. And I walked home and it was fine and guzzled last of many garapinado before coming to bed and in short things all worked out amazingly serendipitously well and I almost feel like I have been granted freedom of San Cris and this hostel.
