Puerto Vallarta

Today was a big driving day because we need to return our rental car tomorrow morning and therefore need to get close to Puerto Vallarta. Therefore we started our trip at 06:30 and luckily the road was in good shape and we made very good progress.
By midday we decided to have a break in Manzanillo, a relaxed city with a huge container harbour. There we stretched, walked along the impressively long beach and then had lunch.
It was a nice little break but we were soon back on our way. We got us some delicious fresh fruits (especially the piña 🍍🤤) for the last leg of our drive. There are areas where the vendors set up their stands close to the road so you can order directly from the car 😁

We arrived a few kilometers South of Puerto Vallarta in the evening at a hotel we had looked up before and luckily they still had rooms available. The view from the crazy large room was magnificent and we were just in time to see the romantic sunset 🥰 But after the sun had set we headed out again to the nearby town of Boca de Tomatlán, just a half an hour walk away and we needed to use our legs after today's driving.
Surprisingly the beach restaurant in the tiny village was still open and we had a beer and some snacks.Read more
