We got up looking forward to a day trip over to Yelapa, which is a small beach town on the far southernmost part of the Bahia de Banderas. It is only accessible by boat, and by virtue of this, the riff-raff are really kept to a minimum with the exception of Us!!!
We were ever hopeful that, by the grace of God, we might get lucky and see some Humpback whales during our 30 min water taxi ride over to Yelapa. The Humpbacks congregate here in the Bay from December to March every year to calve, and the whale watching is apparently spectacular. But alas, nothin doin.
Drat.
As it happens, we ended up speaking with TWO separate groups of people today that had lucked out and seen a cow with her calf during a water taxi ride. We had been assured by two separate whale watching enterprises that the chances of actually seeing any whales were approximately nil, as the Humpbacks had apparently skee-daddled up north to the Pacific Northwest. They didnt even want to take our money. Oh well, thats how the baleen crumbles.
Yelapa was lovely. Quiet, secluded, everything you could really want in a beachfront getaway. You could really feel the relaxation in the air. Or perhaps you could smell it No matter, the point is that it was ultra-relaxationy. Theres more to do there that we had suspected; horseback riding, snorkeling, a waterfall to go check out, and a whole village by the sea, accessible only by boat; and a beautiful, remote beach. Cool.
We managed to visit the Costa Club all-inclusive back in Puerto Vallarta upon our return, and the enthusiastic folks in the pool rose up with an enthusiastic Come To Mexico!!! Hmmm Why dont you?
you will be tripping shortly...or try a shot of mescal after surfing for a few hours..
bueno !
