The "Taco's & Toucan's" Trip
Exploring The City
Wednesday April 10th, 2019
After I got checked into our accommodations at the Portea Hotel, about three blocks from the Caribbean Sea, I headed out the door to check out on of the so-called 'gems of the Mexican Riviera'.
I spent the afternoon exploring the "highlights" of 5th Avenue including the beach and if you turned down the volume, you’d swear you’re in any over-commercialised, 'touristy' area in the world – not my go at all.
To give you an indication of just 'touristy' it was, I simply turned onto 5th avenue and had barely covered 100 metres (300 feet) before I was offered drugs, women, “special shows”, food, drink, tours and a facial – a facial FFS??? What tha??? I suppose it makes a change from the God Botherers who were looking to convert me earlier in the trip.
