Acapulco

We docked in Acapulco around 11:30 a.m.; late enough that everyone was out on deck as we pulled up to the pier. We waited around a while before debarking as to avoid the crowds. Once off, Ana (the only one in the group who speaks Spanish) negotiated a couple of taxis, and off we headed for a city tour.

We started out at the cliff divers:




Then proceeded to an old hotel where lots of movie stars used to stay,




Did some shopping in a little market place,


and headed off across the bay to Senor Frog's.

If ever you're there, I recommend the nachos...ummm, yummy!

After "the frog" we headed over to the Fairmont Princess Hotel, and HOLY COW is it spectacular...especially at sunset.






While I enjoyed our day at Acapulco and the Bay is on "The List"


it mostly struck me as just another big, hot, overcrowded city, with terrible traffic it took forever to get back over the to ship side of the bay. The Bay is rightfully on the list, but I don't think I'd go on a longer vacation there.
