I spend a lot of time in buses going from city to city for just a day, seeing movies with bad endings. One with Madonna playing a rich arrogant woman who gets stranded on an desolated island with a Greek sailor. And of course they fall in love, but eventually her husband prevents them for coming together. 
One with Johnie Depp, where he plays the schizophrenic writer getting away with all the murders he makes. For the rest a lot of reading, chatting with fellow travelers, last minute shopping, and laying at the beach when I didn't have to hide for thunderstorms. Much thinking about what to do back home was something I did as well with a licuados in my hand and a torta burger on my plate.
Campeche was an industrial looking town, but the nice hostel overlooking the park and the music / concert in the evening made it oke. Huatulco, although beautiful, felt like just another beach town and Villahermosa certainly wasn't to be called pretty. Puerto Escondido was great again. Because of the rainy season it was a lot greener then before with streams which had changed to impassible, with 'time accurate' thunderstorms and the belonging mosquito's. At my first night they bothered me so much that I changed from dorm to tent, which is not easy to set up during the night still a bit dozy. The second night it turned out that the tent was waterproof but not completely thunderstorm proof. Anyway, my last city I wanted to see was Acapulco, similar as Cancun although with a very nice old city. The beach was worse and the places I settled down smelled like an open sewer, seeing everything from dead rats, oil to naked barby dolls. As you might understand, I didn't felt invited to take a swim. The cliff divers were just a rip-off. Expecting a huge show, all the four of them did was climbing onto the 35 meter high rocks and making one 'simple' dive, so no salto’s or whatever.
