Today is a total day of rest - a sleep-in after such a late night, casual lunch on the deck with the New Zealanders, again, some domestic duties and time to familiarise ourselves with the ship. It is so much smaller than the Emerald Princess, 480 passengers compared to over 3,000. I needed to get something from the shop - was back in less than 5 mins as is just on our level!!! As is the Casino but that will be for another day!
We were informed yesterday that our stop tomorrow in Catalina, US, has been cancelled and we'll now be having the day in Ensenada, Mexico. So have booked a tour, 'Taste of Mexico' which is a 4 hour tour. Ensenada is a coastal city in Mexico, the third largest in Baja California. Is 125 kms south of San Diego on the Baja California Peninsular and is locally referred to as 'The Cinderella of the Pacific'. At an estimated temperature of around 24C it should be a really nice day.
Shared a table at Prime restaurant tonight with two ladies. Turns out they are sisters, one celebrating her 55th birthday. She could pass for a 25 yr old. Long story short, both divorced, grew up in Mississippi, parents/family still cotton farmers, and, (wait for it Noelene & John) born and bred in Biloxi!!!!! Grandma had a dining room table that seated 30 people so must have been some property! Told them about our fun day in Biloxi!!!!! Off on our excursion early tomorrow -hopefully will have something a bit more
educational to write about!
