Luggage w/ wheels vs. Back packing 😄

I’ve been actively keeping up the reputation of Scandinavian girls being liberal and sporty. More or less consciously. Maybe I (and other Scandinavian girls) just want to be practical and it is seen liberal and every now and then pushing you to your limits to do some sporty kind of actions.

I arrived to Puerta Vallarta by plane, but continued to Sayulita by local bus. It took 1,5 hours instead of 30 min, but on the other hand the cost of a taxi was 1400 $ compared to 46 $ bus. And the athmosphere in the bus was great. Even met a lovely mexican couple in their sixties who were on a cruise and visiting PV for that day. One of those acquintances with whom you share a moment, have a great time, but somehow unfortunately don’t change any contact information to be able to hear how they are doing later.

In Sayulita the temperature got me again! I knew it was warmer than in MC, but still had assumed I could walk that 450 m from bus station to hotel on my treking trousers. (Those are so great to travel as you can put all your small things into thigh pockets!) But the heat was stunning when I got out of the bus. 😅 The bus station was just a small hall, no toilet or place to hide, but I’m so glad, that I anyhow decided to change my chlothes. When you don’t make such a big noice of yourself, changing your chlothes in public is not that reveiling as it sounds. (In my teens I wasn’t in scouts in mixed tents for nothing... 😏) So, after a quick change I was ready to walk to my hotel.

Do you have any idea how many times a road can fool you in 450 meters? I had walked maybe 20 m around the corner when I was supposed to turn right. Turning right was Ok, but the road was steep uphill road, type 45 degrees. It would have been possible to get around it, by extra 500 m. But hey, my luggage had wheels, so how hard could it be? 😃 And after an uphill comes always a down hill. So off we go! 🤩💪🏻

Yes, there was downhill as I assumed, but the road got me again -it was cobblestone. 😆 Certainly I still had a possibility to take the other way around with extra 500 m again, but it seemed I would anyhow sooner or later end up to the same road. So 🤷🏼‍♀️ And I was actually surprised how well my roller took the cobblestones. But evidently it didn’t look as smooth as I thought as one lady came to me asking: ”Do you know where you are going?” I managed to convince her and continued.

Then the road got me third time, although I don’t know was it for better or worse. 😄 Now the road was just a bumpy sand road. But finally I made that 450 m to the hotel. And have to say, shower was again one of the best experiences here. 😄

But it was all worth it, my friends had chosen us a nice hotel and as soon as I had unpacked my staff, I was ready to join to the beach life. ☀️👙🌴🍹🏄🏼‍♀️😎

P.S. I had also study mates, yesterday when my computer was still working. Let see how I arrange my studies without computer... 🙄
