Hotel El Presidente Acapulco

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 ...

ACAPULCO
First stop on the cruise is beautiful sunny Acapulco Mexico.
Due to some wind and rain last night the ship is about 2 hours behind schedule.
We will be docking in Acapulco around 2pm or 12 noon Pacific time.
We are only here about 5 hours and have booked a tour of the Cliff Divers and Acapulco City ...

... en hel dag i det antropologiska museumet, bland dom bästa museum jag någonsin varit i. Ett enrom och genomarbetat museum helt tillängnat Mexikos historia, men en ljudguide som sköter berättandet.

My next stop was Acapulco. I got a lot of help from a guy on my bus that shared a taxi, told me where I should get a hotel, did the talking for me etc...I should have hold on to that guy because I didn´t ...

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 ...

... divers, which was quite impressive. Although the idea of jumping off a cliff is pretty crazy in itself, the fact that they climbed down one cliff, swam through a turbulent narrow water and then climbed up the other side (25-35 meters of sheer rock, depending on the diver) was equally impressive.

... amp; have a look around the Zocalo. Everything closed because of the rain.
Go back to my hotel room and am bored, no one else in the hotel to talk to but worse still no cable tv, only local channels.
Go and have a look around in the posh part of town and book in to a hotel for AU$120 per night. 2 bars and a jucusi. Vending machine with cans of beer for 25 peso and rum & coke for 15 peso.
Might stay here another night if the weather improves

... the norm. The odd Ceiba tree was spotted here and there. The area became so dry and dusty and cactuses cactuses began to appear all over the place. It wasnt a pretty ride with the dull scenery and the slow, frequently stopping bus, bumping along on a narrow road for 10 hours was very painful. Luckily there werent too many people aboard so Shannon, the kiwi im traveling with, and I were able to walk up and down the aisle, stretching and ...

Well, we left for Acapulco on Friday and had plans to stay at one spot which was a total dive. So Jamon, also know as Ivan, or the daughter´s husband, called a friend and called a friend and we found a spot right on the ocean. However, the AC was not up to snuff and I didn´t handle that too well. We finally settled in so late that we just headed to the grocery and for tacos, otra vez. The next day we hit the pool ...
