Taxco & Acapulco & Pie de la Cuesta, Mexico

---

Drove down from Tejupilco with Javier and Arlen, via the amazing, huge Cacahuamilpa caves, and Taxco - a pretty old colonial town in the hills, with lots of silver shops.


Have just spent 2 days on the beach in Pie de la Cuesta.. a quiet place about 10km west of Acapulco.. so we´re no longer at altitude... and the temperature difference is huge,, it´s HOT here!


Explored Acapulco on day one, but is full of bars, clubs, McDonalds, Starbucks etc... so we visited Walmart to get supplies and headed back to our little beach! We did see the Quebrada cliff divers though.... amazing


Javier and Arlen have headed back on the 8 hour drive back to the mountains.. and Cheryl and I have found a little paradise (Hotel Rozana) so have decided to stay another 2 nights and postpone the next bus journey! We have a lovely room with balcony, hammock, outside kitchen, swimming pool.. right on the beach .. (we´ve splashed out on this one.. it´s GBP8 a night each!)

No swimming in the sea here though.. dangerous currents, and the waves are HUGE
