Auto Hotel Ritz Acapulco

We will post trip information here as soon as it starts. For 2010, we will continue planning the project and look for Sponsors that are willing to invest and support the Project. All indications in that regard is ...

Traveling 246 nautical miles northwest from Huatulco, Mexico, we come to the glitter and glamour of Acapulco, Mexico. Acapulco is known for its beauty. Its world-famous beaches offer up the sun and surf for different agendas, whether you're in the mood for exhilaration or serenity.

We chose the serenity path and spent the day at a private resort (Fairmont Pierre Marques Hotel and Resort). We could have chosen the Cliff ...

From the ship we boarded a bus for a tour of the city. It took us around the bay
of the city.Then a Short street to the Pacific side where the
Cliff divers are. We were able to shop for about 30 minutes, then went through the la brea hotel to
look at the cliff where the divers jump from ...

... didn´t have any camera.

Jag åkte till en stor arkeologisk site norr om Mexiko City som heter Teotihuacan, för att hjälpa till att slitna ner resten av ruinerna genom att gå över dom. Vi var inte m¨nga turister där, för det är låg, för att det är lågsäsong nu antar jag. Det är inte ofta du önskar att du var omgärdad av fler turister men när gatuförsäljarna utnumrerar sitt byte (turisterna) 3:1 får du varenda gatuförsäljares ögon på dig och dom ...

... nog wat extra tijd in Taxco. Tegen 14 uur gaan we terug naar het hotel om te wachten. We mogen de kamer houden tot we de vervangwagen hebben, dat is wel vriendelijk, zo kunnen we wat TV kijken. Om 16u nog steeds geen vervangwagen en we bellen, met hulp van het hotel, nog eens. De wagen is onderweg, wachten dus. Om 17u is de vervangwagen er. Volgens de man van Avis is er een anti-diefstal systeem opgesprongen omdat we binnen de 10 minuten te vaak geprobeerd hebben te ...

Just accommodation for now...........

Accommodation

Acapulco has simply two halves: the old town, which is where you will find the budget hotels, and to the east, the resort area, a string of fine hotels lining the Bahia de Acapulco. A simple Google search will list many of these hotels so I won't recommend any. If you ...

... Chairs and umbrellas line the beach and cost you 30 pesos for the day. Numerous sellers stream past you as the locals try to make a little money in the very hot conditions. Most of these people are almost black, like you Mike. Foreigners too also have a very dark chocolate tan showing the length of time spent here in the sunny south. We ...

... at the cathedral and the rows of tacky tourist shops and then headed over to Fuerte de San Diego which is a fort which was built in 1616 to protect the city's lucrative harbor and wealthy citizens from pirate attacks. It has now been turned into a museum of the history of Acapulco so I went to do my cultural bit and had a look around. It was quite interesting, a bit too much marine stuff really, but the fort itself is a groovy shaped building ...

The beautiful bay of Acapulco greeted us next. It was hot an humid like you wouldn´t believe. In true backpacker style we caught a local bus from the airport into town. We were actually staying near a small beach, just out of Acapulco town centre, called Playa La Angosta. Once we got into the town centre we got a cab from there to our hotel in what turned out to be quite a comical journey. The cabbie that we got wasn´t sure where our hotel was, although we ...
