Look Ma, No Hands
Nobody else seemed worried so why should we?
If ti's at all possible we like to go out exploring on our own when we hit a new port. We'd been to Puerto Vallarta before but that was many moons ago so it all seemed pretty new to us.
The Malecón Boardwalk is about 7.3 KM (4.5 Miles) from the cruise port, easy to walk 20 years ago but not so easy now so that was off the table. Taxis wanted $25 US to take us there so that was definitely a no go, leaving us with the city bus.
The fare per person is only 10 Pesos one way (55 cents US) so we waited at a stop till a bus that said Malecón on it came by and we climbed aboard.
The ride itself was pretty uneventful but Niccy wasn't that impressed with the driver's navigating skills, especially when we got to the cobblestone road part of the ride. I told her he was a trained professional who did this for a living every day but I don't think she was satisfied with my comment!
I'm sure glad she's the adventurous sort, it makes our excursions a whole lot more fun!
