Well Amigos and Amigas, in Acapulco, the iconic resort and slum of nortamericana dreams! staying in an upper market hotel, on the 11th floor so the views are positively panoramic, the only drawback, except for my persistent habit (sorry Mark) is the only 2 lifts and they are slow, and even slower when some little shit from 1103, yes, we know who you are, punches all the buttons before running off laughing....the trip down then takes about 35 minutes....but at least when it happened last night <I was joined in entrapment with a young woman who helped me with my language problems.....

Displayed times (last time: )

pretty sincere and Saturday on the way down from wherever there seemed to be thousands of them...on the upside, we can scoot over most of them pretty quick by standing up on the pegs while the cars and trucks are forced to an almost standstill....so if the timing is right you can slip past many vehicles...altho' a bit to their chagrin tal mez.....

the run down the coast has been really cool and pretty laid back, this place is just hanging over a 200m drop....justat times running along the coast at others diving inland and teasing us with glimpses of beaches and the often incredibly rugged coastline...absolutely unscalable cliffs in parts rising a hundred metres from the crashing waves....picture perfect little bays with palm groves and a coupla palapas, many quite deserted, others becoming more developed acording to who has discovered them...quite a few surfers following the good breaks...

along the inland roads little villages (and the inevitable topes) with a few scrappy stores and a restaurant or 2...mostly ptretty sleepy hollow type joints....in the heart of some big palm plantations one village had a lolly factory and each side for a few hundred metres were fifty thousand exactly identical little roadside stalls with exactly the same displays of cocnut ice and other sickly delicacies......just didn't have the time to pull up....biggest mobs of mango plantations...some with curiously high cyclone fences topped with razor wire hmmm...either they've developed the golden mango or there's something else going on...and there's a sweet smell in the air sometimes...and this is the area where they say don't go following any dirt tracks off the road coz you might meet farmer Green and his crop...
The front of the bikes, and palapa and have something to eat - Playa Somewherathe helmets, and us I guess are beginning to resemble a drunken ornithologists attempt at a display board, from miniscule sandflies up to ...
