Wednesday 30 May 2007 - Cozumel, Mexico

At 10.30pm every night there is a show, so we went and saw an amazing balancing act followed by a not so terrific comedian.

Cozumel, Mexico


We arrived at Cozumel this morning. It is an Island off the Mexican coast and is only 18 feet high. The ship moored at a wharf so we could walk off. Went for a walk along the seafront. There was a Mexican warship in the harbour. There was an ongoing amount of construction going on and several construction sites which appeared to be abandonned. We caught a taxi to town for some shopping. The Mexican shop keepers tout on the street to get you into their shops and you are expected to haggle for the best price. This is new to us and I don't think we are very good at it! However, we caught on pretty quickly and got a couple of good deals. Went upstairs to a local restaurant for some authentic Mexican lunch. Wandered around sightseeing and then found the Casablanca Bar for a Margarita. We got two buckets of Margaritas each served to us. I think these Mexicans work on the theory that if they get these Gringo drunk they will spend more money!

Had to be back on board in time to sail at 6pm. Had dinner and drinks on the aft of Deck 9 at the Unicorn Bar with our new friends Randy and Mark served by Winston.

Had a play in the Casino before bed.
