We're finally back from our trip and finally in St. Louis! Our cruise was everything we hoped for and more. We tried to think of the best way to write about it and decided that we would just post everything in one post. So bear with us!
The Ship: We had too much food, met some interesting folks, and even got sea sickness to boot! It's actually harder to adjust to than we thought, but our ship was beautiful and the entertainment on board was hilarious!
Cabo San Lucas: The water was amazingly clear, the locals were...interesting (to say the least), and the snorkeling is the best in Cabo. We took a water taxi to Lover's beach and had the greatest time looking for tropical fish. Mazatlan: Had a great beach, but was pretty ghetto in some parts. We took a boat to a secluded beach on Stone Island, where there was all you can drink pina coladas and daquris. Unfortunately they couldn't make them without alcohol, SO, we didn't have any. We took a banana boat ride (which was kind of like tubing, only on a banana), and it was pretty scary to be so far away
in the middle of an ocean. Our food wasn't so hot, but it was definately authentic. Right before they fed us they said how many people in Mazatlan feed iguana in the place of chicken because supposedly it tastes the same. We can testify that it doesn't because we ordered the chicken and it didn't taste like chicke! Luckily, our cruise was having all you can eat crab that night.
Puerto Vallarta: Was so much fun except for the sleazy Latin men. We took a Canopy Zip Line Tour in the middle of the jungle over canyons and waterfalls....we even did it backwards while hanging upside down! We became quite the adventurous duo! The beach was okay, but the markets were the best for picking up souvenirs!
Overall we had a great time! Luckily Marcus spoke Spanish, otherwise I don't know what we would have done. So many people tried to rip us off just because we are American tourists. Mexico has a completely different culture and it was really hard to get use to their way of life.
Nevertheless, we were glad to get back to the United States and are so grateful for all that we have, more beach and snorkeling pictures soon to come!
Wow! Look like you guys had a lot of fun. Someday we'll have to go on a cruise.
What a trip. Good thing you wrote all this stuff down. I have a feeling you're going to rely on remembering the "good times" a lot during this pest control summer.
Iguana does not equal chicken. So disappointed. NOT... You were very brave. Looks like so much fun in the sun. That ship is huge. It makes me want to go so badly.
That sounds so much fun. I can't wait to go zip line through the jungle in Costa Rica!
