Feb. 22---Mar. 2, 2010
We flew from Olympia to Zihuatenjejo on February 22nd, beginning our VolkVenture:
Renting a car at the Zihuatenejo airport, we drove into Zihuat to a market, bought a styro cooler, ice and supplies, got some dinero and headed North. In 45 min. we were in familiar territory, Playa Troncones. The first 2 nights we stayed at Casa Manzanillo, a couple Km. North and the 3rd night at Tres Mujeres.
Day 4 we proceeded North along the coast stopping at Playa Azule for lunch and a refreshing swim and then for the night at Caleta de Campos. Our $4 dinner and $35 lodging was a highlight with my wallet.
Day 5-->heading N. Lunch break at Maruata, then we blew past Manzanillo as it looked too big and industrial to Melaque. Stayed there 3 nights. It was a walk up the beach from Barre de Navidad--pleasant all around.
Our 8th day and night we stopped by La Manzanilla, a cozy bay side discovered pueblo and settled into Tenacatita where I celebrated my birthday!
March 2nd found us gliding up to Puerto Vallarta to meet our friends, John and Kate Driscoll of Ketchum, ID.
