Hotel Acapulco Torturga

... were a total of 8 divers. In this group of divers the youngest
was 14 and the oldest was in his 50's.
Wow what a way to make a living,
Then back to the ship to cast off at 6pm.
The weather was hot and humid about 92 degrees.
A nice refreshing dip in the pool was a great way to cool off.

... br>The history of Acapulco (per the tour book), is a city of about 700,000 people. This became
a major port back in the 1500's due to the arrival of Hernan Cortez,
which at that time many treasures were shipped to Mexico City and on to Spain. After World War 2 this became a favorite
vacation spot.More to come!

... the anthropological museum, arguably one of the best museums I´ve been to. A huge and thorough museum totally dedicated to Mexican history, with an audio guide to do the telling.



Dom närmsta dagarna gick jag till några museum. Jag gick till där Trotsky (Lenins sidekick) bodde och tog foton på hans dass och skrivborded där han fick ishackan i huvudet. Jag kollade förjäves efter lite blodrester för att får lite mer effekt i fotona.

Jag ...

Fui la primera en levantarse. En condiciones normales soy muy huevona pero curiosamente siempre que voy de viaje me despierto primero aunque nos hayamos desvelado... Habíamos llegado al Depa a las 6:00 de la mañana, ¿o era más tarde?.
Desayunamos, fuimos a la playa, fuimos a la alberca, yo estaba desesperada porque habíamos quedado de ver a los peruanos en la noche.
En el Paradise estuvimos con ellos, bailamos ...

... de la fachada, la zona, la iluminación, las telas que colgaban en la entrada, pero traté todo el tiempo de guardar la compostura y actuar como "esto es de lo más normal para mí". Ya adentro se vio muy desilusionador el asunto porque me gusta que los lugares estén atestados de gente y que el desmadre se haga notar, pero estaba todo tan tranquilo. En la barra nos dijeron que siempre no era barra libre y creo que lo único ...

For the weekend, we followed the trend in Mexico City -- take a break and go to the beach. And therefore, Acapulco it was. Although it was a break in some ways (I mean, it´s a beautiful beach) it was actually much more hectic than Mexico City in many ways -- crazy drivers, non-stop vendors trying to sell you ...

... blade and I crawled out of my tent to investigate. A couple of groundsmen from the solitary hotel nearby were out harvesting coconuts. While one held a ladder against a slender palm-trunk his companion aloft wielded the machete; and one by one the coconuts fell to the sand. As I decamped and loaded up my bike the pair approached and we ended up shooting the breeze awhile. Before I departed the hombre with the machete sliced the top from a coconut; and I drank back its ...

... wander around in the ******* rain and find ourselves some accommodation. Which we did, eventually, in a place called Hotel Asturias, at a cost of 200 pesos. The place was recommended by the Holy Planet guide book, and to be brutally honest it was a big let down. We just dropped our bags and went out for a look around the infamed Acapulco. The place was flooded! Water EVERYWHERE! We had a bite ...

... I to Cuernevaca and then Acapulco, which was to be our first destination in Mexico and we wanted to get there as soon as possible. The bus through Mexico City really opened our eyes to the sheer size of the city - according to our Mexican friends the largest in the world at 30 million people. Almost the population of the entire country of Canada! It took us almost 3 hours to drive from the ariport to a small town on the outskirts of the city called Cuernevaca. From ...

... left the I-5 just North of Sacramento to San Francisco, where we stayed for a night with some friends. In the morning, we drove down the windiest road in North America! Continuing through the USA, we went down by LA, Phoenix, Tucson, and finely Nogales where we crossed into México. There, we went though Hermosillo, Ciudad Obregon, Culiacan, Mazatlan, Tepic, Guadalajara, Morelia, Toluca (near Mexico City), and ...
