Our second port of call was the sleepy fishing village of Zihuatanejo Mexico. This stop was an adventure as the port is too small to accommodate the ship so we had to leave the boat via tender. Sorta neat getting to feel the full effects of the oceans force during the short ride to shore.
We did not take a tour to Ixatapa we just stayed around the little port village of Zihuatanejo. This village reminded me a little bit of Cabo San Lucas. We walked around doing a little shopping in all the little stores. I bought a few local cigars from one of the local stores for 29 pesos can’t wait to try them out later.
We eventually located my brothers on the beach as they were there to do some wave runners just mess around on the beach. I decided it was time to explore the town. I did find the fruit and vegetable market and lots of roasted Pollo hanging from the shop windows for sell. It was nice and warm so I started looking for some cheap beer and Coca Cola light. I did find Coca Cola light for 6 pesos and a nice Mexican beer that I had never tried call “Victoria” for 12 pesos. I would have liked to hang out in this town a lot longer with a 13.65 peso to a dollar exchange rate but alas we would have to head back to the ship and my beer would now cost me 5.75 USD.
We did have an enjoyable lunch on the beach of Mexican tortilla soup and some fish tacos.
Looking forward to our next stop Manzanillo.
