January 28, 2012. Playa Royale, Mexico. The Bus Ride.

It was the highlight of the day.   The first bus was comfortable and quick.  We four walked down to the Mall to catch the bus and soon got onto the bus marked Wall Mart.  The driver was steady.   After getting off opposite Wall Mart  we headed right up to our next bus marked Centro, which would take us right along to the Malecon.

Now this second bus was not luxurious or even comfortable.  The seats were hard plastic and the bus driver was far from steady.  In fact he drove like a bat out of hell.  We passed all the other vehicles and screeched to a stop and rode very quickly over every bump.  You had to hold on tight with both hands in order to stay in your seat.  I sat forward the whole time to keep from bouncing my back on the hard plastic seat.

Fortunately, that bus was very cheap and it got us where we wanted to go.   That bus trip was memorable and a fitting start for our day in Puerto Vallarta.  We all four thought the whole thing a big lark.
