This takes us to an 11 hour drive from Manzanillo to another costal paradise. Zihuatanejo and Ixtapa are two towns across a bay from each other that have very different personalities. One is full of all-inclusive resorts perfectly landscaped with legible street signs and the other resembles what Andrew and I have been used to.

The buses were pretty comfortable and during the change at Acapulco we managed to get some nice tostadas for lunch. On arrival in Zihuatenejo we got a taxi to our hostel, via another hostel which sounded similar, and then it was off to find the Jungle bar where the beers were only 10 pesos.
