Woke up in Cabo San Lucas this morning - is a tender port so there is a lovely view of the town and local resorts. We had a day here early last year and pleased to come back again. Today we booked a tour called 'Salsa and Salsa' (just in case we didn't have enough in Ensenada)!!!! About 30 of us were on the tour which took us to a restaurant about 10 kms away. It was a fun thing to do, all the ingredients for a lot of geriatrics swinging their hips to some good Mexican music!!! Not to mention the many margaritas offered during the 3 hours. Each couple had the makings of 6 different Salsa dishes, one at a time, and as well we made 2 margaritas then we had to learn some Salsa steps - yes, well that left a bit to be desired as not much rhythm for some of us!!!!! I should point out that this couple didn't win any prizes LOL!!!!!
Back on the ship for a 4 pm sailing.
The rock formation known as El Arco at Cabo San Lucas is at the tip of 1,000 mile long Baja California. Apparently the Peninsular, which is a very popular holiday spot, once joined the rest of Mexico but millions of years ago seismic activity along the San Andreas Fault caused the split. The sea that fills the gap between the Peninsular and the Mexican West Coast is known as the Sea of Cortez, is the world's youngest body of water and contains more than 100 uninhabited islands some of which have not been explored! The waters around Cabo are home to many species of marine life including grey and humpback whales. We haven't seen any yet though. It is also a great place for scuba divers, Caro knows all about that!!!
Joined people from Tamworth for dinner, she is the Aussie mahjong player and a really nice lady, as is he. And the show was good, a pianist who played classical and contemporary music.
Swung by the casino on our way to the room, it is on our floor so no big deal, but I did notice my numbers came up once or twice and I wasn't on them!!! Tough.
