Mazatlán

We are docked early and since there is no issue with tender service this morning the crowds can just head off.

We are docked with a Carnival Ship as well as the Grand Princess. 

After the crowds in the Horizon Court for breakfast we decided to order in this morning and ordered tea and cereal and some fruit to the cabin.  We scheduled it for 8 to 8:30 – and I know you seasoned cruisers will know exactly what happened.  Yup a knock at the door at 7:40!  We were both still asleep but we are up now.  Then they forgot to bring tea bags!  We grabbed tea later after we showered.

There is crew drill and since we are meeting up with some crew later we arrange to meet up at 11 on the pier. 

Our mission is to head to Stone Island today.  Easy to do on your own.  You can take a taxi there but it is just as easy to walk out of the port and turn left and keep walking until you come to a small ferry hut (signs mark the spot).  A short ferry takes you over to the other side and to Stone Island (although it is not an island but it does look out at Stone Island).  Can’t recall the price of the ferry (someone else paid and they take US) but it is minimal – buy a roundtrip ticket.

Then when you are on the other side just keep walking along the beach until you find a spot you like.

Miguel, Coenraad and Rodriguez joined us, along with our friends Meghan and Darcy and we had a wonderful day full of laughter.  Which may have been caused by a few margaritas, beers and excellent food.  The water was rather chilly but still nice to wade into.

We stayed all day and we finally waddled back to the ferry and then back to the ship with our belly full and complete bliss.

A hot shower and a two hour nap meant we were ready to take on the evening.  A few glasses of wine in Vines and since none of us are hungry for the buffet we end up grabbing a sandwich in the International Café and enjoying the evening.  The theme in Horizon was German Night – one of our favorites but we are too full.

The production show is Colours of the World – one of our favorites and we enjoyed it immensely.  Great team of singers and dancers on board and they are getting ready to head home in two weeks.

Club 6 is still hoping after the show and we pop in for a bit but decide to call it a night.  Tonight, we put our clocks forward an hour.
