I flew with KLM from Amsterdam to Mexico City in 11.5 hours. After a night in a hostel near the airport, I had another flight of over an hour to Puerto Vallarta. 'Vallarta' is located in the state of Jalisco on the Pacific west coast of Mexico. Here I stayed a week in the old town (Zona Romantica) on the Rio Cuale River. After a cloudy and clammy start of the week, I had several sunny days in this large resort town that extends along the Bahia de Banderas. Every day I took walks along the Malecón (boulevard), in the city center and in the old town. Especially at night, the Malecon was very lively with performances, stalls and people chatting. From the Cerro de la Cruz I had a beautiful view of the city and the bay. In the cemetery and on the Malecón there were still many visible reminders of the Dia de los Muertos (earlier in the month). I spend my "beachtime" mostly at the Playa de Los Muertos, the popular city beach south of the pier. Though I also walked along the coast to the beaches located north and south of the main beach.
