(^92) Acapulco – Mazatlán - By bus
I received an email from Ernest stating he was waiting in Mazatlán. I
decided to cheat and take the bus as he reported the coastal road
was scarily narrow and quite dangerous. In hindsight, he could’ve had
ulterior motives, and I’m unsure if it is indeed the case.
In Mazatlán, Ernest was waiting at the bus station. Hotel Lerma had
rooms around a large and spacious courtyard/parking area, making
staying amazingly comfortable. The price was considered a bargain.
The weather was terrific and supper was from a sidewalk café.
Mazatlán
I spent a relaxing day sauntering through the historic centre and
beachfront. Ernest needed bike parts (as surmised) but none were
found. In the process, we had the bicycles washed at a carwash,
where the staff didn’t want money, merely a Coca-Cola. Afterwards,
we bought ingredients for a salad with freshly baked rolls from the
bakery.
Ernest worked on his bike the following morning while I investigated
the historic city centre. Mazatlán was a pleasant town where one
could easily spend a few days, but I was keen to get going.
