Our Puerto Vallarta and Yelapa trip

Well we are back from our week long trip to Puerto Vallarta and Yelapa. We had a wonderful time, the food was great and the locals were wonderful! Can't wait to go back to Yelapa! Puerto Vallarta was very nice too, but we preferred Yelapa over the hustle and bustle of Puerto Vallarta.

As soon as you get off the boat there are a couple of men waiting with iguana's. If  you take them to pose for a picture there is a small fee. So be prepared to pay.

The village is charming from what I could see from the beach. Although I never made it to the village many of the people came to us. Bringing with them their wares and trinkets.

Here we are having dinner at Chico's Bar & Grill in Yelapa.

I have to say the food and service were outstanding! The bar is owned by a very pretty lady by the name of Yasmin Vazquez, she has a bubbly personality which you notice right away. She is a wonderful hostess. Her youngest daughter who we met is very cute and seemingly shy, but her mother said that was not how she usually was, so maybe it was just us.

 Back at Puerto Vallarta Ken, Javier and myself went shopping and sightseeing. We found this little outdoor round bar in one of the outdoor shopping malls. We stopped for a drink and cuban cigars.

The food was delicious and pleasing to the eye as well.

We took off from Ajijic and headed to the bus station in Guadalajara. Juan our driver picked us up and drove us there for 250 pesos for a total of four people. It took about 45 minutes to get there so the $20 is a great deal!  We call him to pick us up, take us somewhere tell him what time to return and he is there on the dot! What service we have here in Mexico. One thing too he drives very very fast. He does 140 Kilometers in a 80 Kilometer highway. But he is an excellent driver. He has been doing this for over 20 years.

The bus ride was very comfortable. We chose Primera Plus which is a First class bus line. They have reclining seats, leg rests, movies, snack bar, his and hers bathrooms and of course A/C. They give you a bag lunch and choice of sodas or water. The sandwich is a croissant with ham and some sort of soft cheese which is out of this world! The tickets costs 1100 Pesos roundtrip for both of us. Around $85
