At Sea in Zih

Thanks to the efforts by local authorities to bring tourists to Zihuatanejo from the ship instead of just watching them all get bused to Ixtapa

WHY??? Does Ixtapa have a Zihuatanejo problem? Cleaner beaches, less crime, nicer places. Looking to the OP as to wedges driven.

Not sure you understand my reference. Since the tenders land at Puerto Mío, none of the passengers walk from Puerto Mío but instead would normally be loaded on tour buses so they could be taken to Ixtapa hotels to hear time-share sales pitches while sipping free lousy margaritas. So the local merchants in Zihuatanejo appreciate the gesture by our local government. I’m sure several hundred tourists visited Ixtapa, too. It was a big boat, and we get to do it again tomorrow.
