Travel Blogs from Zihuatanejo, Mexico
Car Trouble
This is a top pick! ... to stay another night at the hostel, and fix the jeep tomorrow. Unfortunately, we have to go separate ways. I took the bus to Zihuatanejo,(first time on the bus since Baja California), I arrive after dark. With no guide book -- just a old map, I try ...
Day 8: Zihautanajo
Here we are in Zihautanejo. It has been 12 years since I was here, and as I look out over the view from the ship, none of this looks familiar. Probably not because of any massive development that has taken place since I was here last. But just because ...
Vive Mexico!
Its been about three weeks since Tracy and I got to Zihuatanejo (see wah tah NAY ho), which is in the Mexican state of Guerrero. We picked this town solely based on what we saw online as far as: population (not too big or too small), access ...
Beach baby!
OK so my Michigander friend (Anne) and I decided it was time to get a tan, so we headed for the beautiful resort of Zihuatanejo. No for those of you not in the know, Zihuatanejo...or Zih as it's know to locals.....lies west of Acapulco on the Pacific ...
Zihuatanejo
"Zihuatenejo. Sure I remember the name. A name like that is just to pretty to forget." So it was said in the Stephen King novella which was later turned into the film The Shawshank Redemption. Unlike a lot of places depicted by ...
What a great day
... in Fonatur RV Park in Ixtapa Mexico, you know RVing in Mexico in August is great , abit warm, no gringos and the campgrounds are empty. We have only met 2 gingos since we left Nogalas. On tomorrow headed to Oaxaca Mexico. We might get 100 miles will see ...
Totally redeemed!
Needless to say I (Malin) was not feeling well this morning. I was not even sure that I would make it another day on the bike, but I also knew I did not want to stay in Playa Azul or that room for another minute. I gathered all my strength (both mentally ...
Rustic Mexican Fishing Town
... Mexican hand embroidered blouses. I have to mention our worst time was in Ixtapa, a built up modern resort spitting distance from Zihuatanejo. We had read up about a water park there. Oh my golly gosh it made the French water parks look ...
Day 17 - Ixtapa to Alcapulco, Mexico
It took us even longer to go fewer kms today. The towns are very close together and they all have these really pointy speed bumps called "topes". If we didn't slow down for them, we'd get bucked off our mules. The big trucks almost come ...
Playa Azul
The next trip was not a big one but it was a very nice beach. Our friend Francisco told us about a beach where a ship crashed at the beach in 1983. It lost a lot of acid and the beach was not very popular because of that. But now the people come to here ...
Beach Bugs
We headed out of Lazaro Cardenas, stopping for lunch on a remote beach near zihuatenejo and expressing our love for the country in the sand. Got back on the bikes and rode another hour or two through beautiful winding roads. Crashed on a beach with ...
Heighten Military Presence but Beautiful Beaches
Ixtapa surprised both Christina and I as the area was like one big Resort. Much different then the rest of Mexico, the gardens were manicured, no garbage, and decent roads. This was one of the first RV Parks we found that was in good shape offering all ...
Zihuatanejo
3 nights here. Mexican tourist town, friendly tourist police gave us a lift to the hostel cos it had moved address. Angela's hostel-hotel, really nice, had a kitchen - good to cook our own food. Met a Mexican family who were on holiday, within 5 minutes ...
A good base to explore nearby indiginous villages
I decided to leave San Cristobal and spend a couple of nights in Bochil to visit nearby indigenous villages. This less travelled route winds spectacularly through the mountain valleys before climbing steeply to where I reached my destination. ...
Day 16 - La Placita to Ixtapa, Mexico
... as possible. The little bit of rain we had was welcomed to help cool us down. Highway 200 down the coast of Mexico is so gorgeous with curvy roads, lush flowered plants, donkeys, cows, pigs and ocean views. The road was ...
rice and beans
hey hey at troncones beach just north of ixtapa.... surfing a left point out front of our bungalow... super fun, beautiful place but very pricey... heaps of californians around with wads of cash so we are eating rice and beans every day... surfed ...
More fun hitching rides to and from Zihuatanejo...
... hotelcasaceleste.com. This small luxury hotel, with 15 rooms and a pool has only recently opened and is located in the heart of Zihuatanejo. All the en-suite rooms are nicely furnished with king-size beds, wireless, and cable TV. The hotel sits on the ...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY IAN
... telephone calls. Hector our guide presented Ian with a Tequila shot glass and then we were on the road heading towards Zihuatanejo. The journey took about four hours and took us through some fabulous scenery. It was a toll road all the ...
Ixtapa beach
Now, I'll tell you a short story about Ixtapa. Ixtapa is a very touristic city with many nice beaches, we arrived on Saturday on a beach with the name Playa de Carmen. After a long sun bath and a big sunburn we went to a small but very nice Hotel ...
Zihuatanejo--the town
Our hardest decision every day was whether to sit at the pool or at the beach first. We liked to end the days on the beach--chair pulled up into the ocean, watching the sun go down, admiring the busy sandpipers scurrying around the edges of the water, ...
Puts Cheddar gorge to shame...
As expected I made a complete Prat of myself when Attique left me! And then, just like that, he was gone, and now I am all alone again. Luckily I had to get straight on my overnight bus to San Cristobel, with only 3 passengers, so I was able to hide in ...
Ancient ruins
Winding through the mountainous jungle, you get the feeling truly being 'out there' now. Yet, nestled in amongst the monkeys and mosquitos El Pachan accommodates not only tree-house cabanas, but live music, e'speghetti pesto & red wine.... All just ...
Zihuatanejo - The Yang Next Door to Ixtapa
... times in other blogs and that I should maybe include in every blog: http://www.vrbo.com/vacation-rentals/mexico/mexican-riviera/guerrero/zihuatanejo vrbo = vacation rental by owner I have been less than keen on this site because the prices appear to be ...
Refueling in Zeewat.
A cheesy tourist trap if ever I saw one. So we played cheesy tourists for a couple of days. A bed was needed after so long sleeping in hammocks. We partied a lot and also went to the cinema and saw the new Rambo (very violent), and The Orphanage ...
Zihuatenajo
Hello I guess its been about a week. I finished up in Nexpa with four foot fun waves for the last two days. Dimitri, Judith, 2 dudes from San Diego and myself drove North to surf aa beach break. It was fun but closing out and made me wonder if I ...
Get me outta here!
... Garment Guard work to do, which requires me finding a wi-fi I can use. Thursday AM, it's Audi 5000 time. Adios Zihuatanejo. And I just figured out how to spell it. So feel free to give me a call on the cell or Skype me ...
Ixtapa
This morning we drove to the Mercedes factory in Santiago. A bit of an interesting day since their were no main roads going from north to south and so it was back roads all the way. Once again we found out how bad the maps are, as it was we rarely went ...
dos and don'ts
Afraid this will be a short one in terms of travel narrative, as against my better judgement I took the advice of my Lonely Planet and ended up in American tourist resort hell. Sadly not even the pleasure of pescadillas (fish tacos) and coronas for ...
Zihuatanejo, Mexico
We spent a few days in the laid back fishing village/beachtown of Zihuatanejo along the Pacific Coast enjoying the fantastic seafood and scenery. We took a biking daytrip on the cyclopista to Isla Ixtapa and Playa ...
