Acapulco - Oct 24

We made our way from the surprisingly flash bus station at Mexico City towards the faded charms of Acapulco .. I had an extremely nervous moment when I left my day pack on the floor out the front of the sandwich shop (I ordered us 3 extremely delicious chapatas - rolls), after about 4 minutes I realised, turned around and ran through the crowd and found it had been put aside by the staff .. was surprised and very relieved (my passport was in that daypack)!

Acapulco feels like it has seen better days .. it was quite the cool spot back in the day with John and Jackie Kennedy going there for their honeymoon .. however it feels kinda dirty and a bit neglected these days.

Went and watched the "famous" cliff divers which was impressive .. they jump from quite high up doing flips, there is no room for error, it feels like if they stuff up they are really going to hurt themselves.

That night we stayed in a very basic hotel .. had my best sleep yet though, as it wasnt too hot or noisy.
