Get yer ‘ammocks ‘ere

 I’m in no position to offer advice about hammock buying but Nomadas Youth Hostel here has a few signs on the walls about this, first, it says, if someone is offering you a Mexican hammock made of sisal, it isn’t, as they are not made in Mexico anymore, second, you should never pay more than 280 pesos (for a medium one) and third, (quite specifically!) you should look for one with 8 or more strings connecting from the bit you sit on to the support strings…. first place on our hammock buying mission… 500 pesos (3000 if we really want a good one – “Honest guv”) for a “genuine Mexican sisal” specimen! Long story short, and we’re now the proud owner of two lovely bargain, cotton, 8 stringer hammocks for a garden we haven’t got, to put between four trees we don’t have
