Browsing

Internet WiFi = There is a small bar or something with open wifi. This would be great but every other cruiser in the anchorage appears to know this secret. We witnessed 7mbps/768kbps. Standard DSL in the states. 3G = Telcel: It is pretty bad. We are able do do basic browsing. I’ll be using the KVH tomorrow for work. Voice Ugh. Pretty bad. Airport and Airport Transport I did not need to go out to the airport so I have no information. We will be going to Barra de Navidad next as I have to fly north from there. Funny thing, the airport is north of there so we have to pass by it going south. I was tempted, for just a minute, to have India land me on shore in the dinghy so I could run across the runway parallel to the ocean. That thought stopped as I considered…

Internet WiFi = There was NONE. Tiny town. 4G = Telcel: We saw 50mbps down and 50mbps up. Seriously. It was freaking awesome. It was smoother than my office. Voice I used Skype for Business as that is what my company uses. People thought I was state-side! Airport and Airport Transport I did not need to go out to the airport so I have no information. Other Avoid the beach-side restaurants here. They will impact your ability to work. Scuba-Jazz however.. whoa! Go every night!

Internet La Cruz: WiFi = the WORST – Used my KVH IN THE MARINA. No 4G Paradise Village: Pretty decent during the day. At night everyone is going crazy on Netflix so it slows down a bit. Cost is $25 for 2 weeks of unlimited 4mbps down and 2mbps up. We normally saw 1.5mbps. Voice La Cruz: Calls barely worked on 3G. Used the KVH for phone calls. Paradise Village: Reasonable service on 4G Airport and Airport Transport PVR airport is a tourist airport. When I landed I walked through customs and went to what looked like the taxi stand. The person at the stand asked where I was going and then proceeded to try to sell me a timeshare. WTF?! I walked away. The cost from PVR to La Cruz was 750 Pesos. This 30 minute ride cost 1/2 the 3.5 hour ride from Mantachén! Other Uber…
