Day – 6 – February 26
We have arrived in Costa Maya, Mexico today. This is part of the Mexico region that is
just south of Cancun and goes to the Belize border.
The port is a made for the tourist port and we walked
right through it to the exit gate, and went outside the tourist village and rented a
golf cart to go into the real town.
We first drove about 20 minutes to get to town and then
drove to the other end where all of the hotels and beaches are. We parked the golf cart and walked and walked
and of course we found some “stuff” that we just had to have.
On the way back we stopped at a local restaurant because the
smell of food was so great. The pictures
show the restaurant, the cook and Barb eating something – and it was so good,
we had two of them and our bill was $4. We haveno idea what we had to eat!!
Next was a stop at a Tequila factory where we had a tasting
that consisted of 11 ½ shots of their different Tequilas. YES - it was FUN!!
The price per bottle was from $60 for the non-aged bottle to
$250 to the bottle that had been aged for 18 years in French barrels!
We tasted, enjoy a lot but didn’t buy any!!
Back on the ship we changed into our swimming suits and
spend a couple of hours out in the sun until we felt that we had been out long
enough – the weather was again a perfect day.
The production show was one that we had seen before so we
went for just a bit and then left to walk around and people watch until dinner.
We had asked that our group be moved to a table that was
quieter and the new table was perfect as we could all hear each other.
Then it was time for the casino where Barb lost a little and
Ed had a big win.
It was a really fun day andnow it is time to say goodnight!!
Tomorrow is Cozumel
Good night
