Not exactly music to go to sleep to, but as Sophie pointed out, whatever keeps the driver awake!
Despite this and a change of bus at 2am (we got our sleeping bags out at this point as the a/c was begining to freeze the bones) I actually slept more than I thought.
We awoke in Mazatlan, which is a port town/resort on the west coast, and set about getting some accomodation sorted. I left Sophie with the bags and went searching - we take it in turns. The cheaper places the guide suggested were all pretty rough, especially the one owned by a Mexican Rab C Nesbitt!
But on my trek I stumbled upon the Hotel del Rio, a very basic place (and a bit crawley), but vitally it has A/C.
Its very hot and humid here and there isn`t a great deal to see, but there are some nice beaches and we found a lovely restaurant called El Shrimp Bucket - tasty food served with a smile, and believe me that´s rare!
The seaside part of Mazatlan reminds me of expat Spain, only substitute Brits for Americans. Although we did overhear some Mancunians in a bar - well you can´t have everything!
A swim in the sea and a photo of the sunset and we`ll be on our way thank you. We`re making our way to Copper Canyon. Lets not muck around!
