Back in Zihua/Ixtapa

We returned to Marina Ixtapa on February 22nd and

stayed for another week in the marina.

One day we rode out to the Crocodile Sancutuary on the

well planned and well maintained 8+km. bike path

from the marina out to Playa Linda.

We rode our bikes into Ixtapa every day

to shop and hit the resaurants and we

took the bus into Zihua to shop, provision,

eat, and explore.

This guy was swimming around the marina - he needs
an orthodontist!

The staff at the marina was great. We left on a Sunday

morning and Fabian brought us a Mexican breakfast

that his mother had made. Muy rico!

We spent another couple of days at Isla Grande

where Juan (owner of the Paraidiso Escondido Restaurant)

served our table complimentary fresh

Tuna sashimi and Tequila.......

resident deer tortillas.

We left Isla Grande on March 1 at 7am and arrived in

Santiago Bay (Manzanillo) at 4PM on March 2nd.

We are now slowly working our way north.

This involved two different ferry trips, a bus, lots of driving, and a train. Ferry travel is not cheap or easy in Mexico. We arrived at the 8PM ferry (Guaymas – Santa Rosalia) on Saturday May 27 th at 6PM, as required. There had been some pretty strong northerlies for a few days and the ferry isn’t very big so we asked if it was definitely going to sail. They said yes so our friend, Ray, who had given us a ride from San Carlos, left. At 7:45 they decided the weather was too bad to go – next ferry would be Monday (maybe). We took a taxi back to the boat and decided to wait until Tuesday the 29 th . This time we had Ray ( who speaks fluent Spanish) call and make a reservation in a cabin for us for Tuesday. ...
