Acapulco

(DAY018 : Zihuatanejo - Acapulco: 170 miles)
(DAY019 : Acapulco)

The weather temperature in Zihuatanejo was around 35 C during the days. On the way to Acapulco, I couldn't bring myself to wear the jacket. I wished I could have brought along it's mesh cousin as well, but I knew it was impossible. While packing this morning, when I added my new "soy biker" club sweatshirt (a present from my friends) my soft luggage ripped! Can you say "fully loaded"?

Acapulco started with a now familiar dizzying feeling. The city was full. Duh, it's the new years eve. But you can't always loose :) I somehow checked into a motel very close to where it all happens in Acapulco, for about $55 a night. The room was ok, and Katirga was right in front of my window.

Acapulco has grown significantly since I last (and first) saw it about 10 years ago. The surprise is that I think now it looks much better than the huge construction site I remember. Big city, bright lights, and an endless beach. And yes, it's hot.

Well, don't make me write it all. You know me well enough to imagine what I was up to.












On 1st of January, I had a nice long swim. It was nice because the water temperature was perfect. It had to be long because I first had to get past all the garbage waves had brought to shore. Esta bien.

Oh, and hey! Have a smashing new year baby!
