Mexico Dia Veinte Tres
La playa dia dos. It turns out that our bungalows airconditioning didn´t really work that well. Por eso, I didn´t really sleep that well and woke up sweating like something that sweats allot. It also became clear that a foul smell was iminating from the bathroom...which turned out to be the toilet leaking. Lastly, the shower pressure was terrible, it was like droplets of water slowly falling on your head. It´s like that time in Seinfeld when Jerry´s buildings water pressure drops and Kramer buys a shower head meant for circus elephants...but I digress. After showering, we all went to get breakfast in nearby restaurant. I had eggs with mushrooms and a delicious fruit smoothie.
Zihuatanejo is in a cove of the pacific ocean and has four different beaches. So we headed to a new beach called ¨"playa la ropa." It was allot more touristy than the first beach and it had many cabanas and different stuff to rent. We relaxed on the beach for most of the day and had lunch in another seaside resauarant. I got a spinach salad which was really good. After lunch, me and a friend rented a kayak to visit the other beaches and see the cove. It was 200 pesos ($20) for two hours. (I really wanted to rent a sailing boat and put to use my vast sailing knowledge...but I didn´t have enough dinero.) We first discovered a new beach with a reef. It was a little tricky landing ashore, maneuvering through the rocky reef without capsizing. But, eventually we landed our vessel on a new foreign shore. We then explored the lands and talked with some native people. After some time, we launched our ship back into the ocean and paddled around for awhile and saw a whale. We then returned to "playa la ropa."
It was late and we all headed back to our hotel. After showering and getting dressed we went out to eat. Wow, the food was really good. I had a fajita type dish with corn tortillas and some amazing salsa. After dinner we went to the "black bull" club which was right by our hotel. It was supposed to have a mechanical bull, but it wasn´t operational that night and I was dissapointed. We danced for what seemed like a long time because it was really, really hot. After the club we all went to the beach and jumped in the ocean...sin ropa. After cooling off we returned to our hotel and went to bed.
j/k about the whale.
