Arrival in Puerto Vallarta at Los Muertos to catch boat

We each had a large backpack.. medium sized backpack
...and a smaller day pack... and our walking sticks!

We needed to escape the airport in PV...locate a yellow taxi, which is only available after we walked over the walking bridge to the other side of the road.....negotiate the price to the Los Muertos...beach... 200 peso's was to be top price... $20 CD and head off

Our taxi driver...said it would be 180 peso's...and then drove us for roughly 25 minutes...through the crazy busy streets...of PV.. (Mar 20...is the beginning of the Mexican school week off!!) Lots of folks from Guadalahara, Ajijic...Mexico city...etc...come to PV... beaches... We needed to get out of this place...ASAP...not our cuppa tea.

This taxi ride takes 25min usually...but this was a very slow day...and to top if off...our taxi driver became ill..and stopped the taxi..midway...and asked that we get out... so we grabbed all our stuff... and hoofed it 3 blocks until we located another taxi...to finish the job.

(so we ended up only paying $140 for the journey in total)


We noticed the increase in the resort numbers...from our last visit in 01...

I still can't believe how many people are on the beach in those pictures.. isn't it supposed to be 'a nice relaxing day at the beach'?? not 'a stampede'!!!!
that's nuts..
