The Coast Road To Acapulco
... to Mexico's favourite musical genre. Like a greyhound from a trap I bolted from Tecpan the following morning, intent on reaching Acapulco by nightfall. The scenery was not dissimilar to that which I'd seen two days previously: to the left, the ...
Heading to the Coast
... blaring music on the Bus. There is always a movie or music playing here by the way... even on night Buses. Eventually we got to Acapulco and stepping off the Bus was a bit of a shock since we were now in a very hot and humid climate. Heading off with ...
Acapulco
Today we drove to Acapulco. The drive was quite uneventful until we tried to find the campsite. Unfortunately the instructions were not very clear, although it was only for the last 10 kms that we had a problem. First we thought we should go east on ...

... . Are you helping me, Joe?" She's going on her fourth consecutive year without a break. Enuff is the word! Backpacking to Acapulco would be a great thing. I can only imagine myself wrapped in a colorful towel and lying on the beach or taking a nap on ...
Return home
Lovely to wake to a view of the bay. We had closed the door during the night because a mosquito or two had come in - a little itchy, but not too bad; not taking any chances on a swarm, however. Paul and I had coffee in our room while he checked football ...
Acapulco
Hot fun in the summer time! Wait...It´s January... We arrived in Acapulco yesterday at our B & B Casa Condessa. Almost immediately after that we hit the beach and have spent little time elsewhere! Today we got a pallapa, where ...

Ok so I got drunk and wanted to take my pants off
Antes de que empiece (before I start)... lets get things straight, Acapulco is about the nightlife y laying around a pool drinking cocktails all day long. Ok now we have had the disclaimer I can begin! Thursday night was karaoke at Tu Bar, our ...

Acapulco
Graham just fell off his stool in front of the whole of the internet cafe so I'm too embarrassed to stay and write this now. When we finally got checked into the hotel we were convinced we'd been put in the dungeon rooms with a view of the water tank ...
Back to the Pacific
Headed back to the coast again after one night in Taxco. Acapulco has never held any interest for me, ever.....to big, too noisy, too much like my vision of Cancun.....resort hell. I have decided, however, to spend the night here to break up ...

Ray: Acapulco - getting that tan!
We´re in sunny, sunny Acapulco. It´s stinking hot! I can´t take it. We´re only spending one full day here for a little R + R and most of this was on the beach. It´s a beautiful place with white sand and smooth waters. The surrounding hills and ...

We arose today and ate breakfast at the hotel and then caught one of the local in town buses to make our way to a camera shop.......what a ride. The driver barreled through the other cars and buses and pedestrians missing each by inches, not feet until a ...
Going loco.....
We spent a night in Acapulco. Not a bad spot at all really. Beaches weren't bad and there was a very laid back feel. A very busy city beyond the beaches though, traffic crazy, lots of skyscraping hotels and nightlife once it gets ...
