Margaritas and Mexican Pirates

So excited!!! I was heading off for my first touristy trip in Mexico.  Myself and another girl from the spanish school caught a bus for the coastal tourist town of Puerto Vallarte.  The trip on the bus was around four and a half hours through the mountains and down to the Pacific Coast of Mexico.

The last part of the trip reminded me a lot of driving near Cairns.  Very tropical

After a short taxi ride we arrived at our hotel, El Pescador, an older mexican style hotel right on the beach.  We unpacked out bags, jumped into swimmers and sarong and headed to the pool for a margarita!! Well, that was out intention anyway. 

As we came down the stairs we got chatting with the lady at the front desk that organises day trips, and before we knew it we were in a taxi, making a made dash to a night trip on a pirate ship!!  I didn't even have time to change out of swimmers and sarong.  However, when we arrived it was all ok as the rest of the people on the trip were very casually dressed.

Well we were treated to a very entertaining evening with some very dashing Mexican Pirates.  Very touristy, but lots of fun.  And Bonus! Margaritas were flowing freely.  Even Better!! one of the dashing pirates made sure our glass was never empty.  The evening included a cruise, some fun and games with the people on the boat, dancing, dinner and drinks and a couple of shows, one was a traditional indigenous dance and then the pirates danced, sang, and ran havoc.  Lots of fun.
