... Back on our lounge chairs where we soak-up the Acapulco sun. A little swim to cool-off, then back in the sun. At 1:00PM, we’re fed a buffet style lunch. Then back in the sun.


3:00PM came WAY too fast. Back on the bus to head back to the pier. The drive back took almost twice as long due to the traffic, but we make it back on board in time. Down to the stateroom to get ready for dinner. This is when we ...

In Cuautla they took the form of mini van ...

We had to stop here to avoid driving the bandit-ridden Highway 200 by night. So we found a roadside motel, which was infested with cockroaches and the locks on the doors didn´t work.
