It was an early start to the day with Crystal waking me up coz I was too lazy to set my alarm and knew that her and Ashley’s movements would wake me up. We caught a taxi to ITTO and I went and took a photo of the sandwich ladies coz it was probably the last time I was gonna see them. They thought I was silly and just laughed at me
Then I jumped on the bus and suddenly felt like a sandwich. I asked Crystal how to say “really toasted” and jumped off to order. And for the first time EVER I ordered all on my own and got EXACTLY what I wanted! Here is what I said (DON’T laugh…I never learnt Spanish and don’t even own a Spanish-English dictionary): “hola…ah…sandwich…desayuno…ah…pierna…con queso…solo…ah…bien tostado…gracias”
It was muy delicious! Even more so coz I ordered it myself!
We eventually got on our way only to have the bus breakdown half way there. So we were stuck for about two hours while we waited for another bus to pick us up. Good thing that they driver heard the sound of the bolt that holds the engine in dropping (the apparent story) coz he managed to stop at a place where there were seats and food and drinks and shade rather than in the middle of Deliverance country.
We watched Fermín climb a tree. That boy is so half monkey it’s scary! Then I dragged my laptop out and we watched part of Borat.
We finally arrived in Puerto Vallarti (as Susan refers to it) and checked into the hotel. It was kinda scary gross but it was free and we weren’t exactly there to sit in a room all day!
We went and got a few drinks by the beach which was cool. The only problem with the beach (aside from the fact that I don’t like water and am not very fond of sand either) was all the people selling everything. One guy came up and instantly insulted Fermín by saying, “Ni hao, ni hao”…when we advised that he wasn’t Chinese he said, “Fine, Japanese then…” to which Fermín replied, “Soy Filipino, estupido!”
I cannot tell you how much we peed our pants laughing at that!!
We watched the sunset which was cool coz it goes down really quickly.
It was an early start to the day so we decided to have an early night and finish watching Borat instead of going out…Crystal is now hooked…I love it!!
