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 ... read more

Mariner anchors in Acapulco Bay this morning and the city of one million inhabitants surrounds us. Buildings, in various stages of construction, are scattered down the hillside. Some of these buildings have probably had the same construction going on for many years, a Mexican tax strategy to avoid paying taxes. Two large Celebrity ships are docked in the harbor. Soon, thousands of cruise passengers join the Good Friday crowd. Considering that this is Easter week and there are many locals enjoying the area too, Alan and I opt to stay onboard. Since bodyguard duty precludes us from taking excursions, we aren’t interested in walking around a shopping area in a crowd of tourists fighting off vendors on a hot day. Our fellow passengers have many choices though. They can visit the city highlights and watch famous ... read more

Noin, tui eksyttya niinkin eksoottiseen paikkaan kun Acapulcoon, haha. Kanarian saaret potenssiin kolme, ei kovin meksikolaiselta enaa kaikki paikat nayta, tanaan on lahto kuitenkin edessa, ensin Pied de la Cuestaan ja myohemmin yobussi Puerto Escondidoon (tiedan, yobussit ei ole jarkevia, mutta nyt taytyy vahan elaa budjetin mukaan, joka mukavasti pomppinut yli koko ajan). Cuernavacassa elama oli rauhallista, parhainta oli tiistai-ilta, jolloin lahdin kahden argentiinalaistyton kanssa vahaksi aikaa la garageen kuuntelemaan Pabloa, cuernavacalaista kitaristia, tytot lauloi ja tanssi mukana melkein jokaisen laulun ajan, itse joutui vain olemaan mukana hengessa, latina-amerikkalaiset rakkauslaulut ja niiden sanat kun on jossain vaiheessa paassyt unohtumaan. Piti kirjoittaa jotain muutakin ja jotain fiksua, mutta helle pehmitti paan ja nettiaika loppuu, sori.... read more

Here are a few pictures from my trip to Ixtapa, Mexico. This was truly a treat because it was an annual event put on by a company I work with. 2 words come to mind: ALL INCLUSIVE. This meant hotel room over looking the ocean, food at the 5 restaurants on premise, drinks-Corona and Margaritas, a snorkeling, fishing or dolphin trip and after partys at the discothèque. I must admit, I was a bit spoiled!... read more
