Second port of call – Hualtulco, Mexico!

Every time I walk by one of the interactive displays, they display Happy Birthday Uncle Markie. Just FYI, it isn’t my birthday, but we have a birthday celebration coming up for a former cruise partner of mine.

And this was waiting for me one turndown…

As usual, tons of good food…

We’ve started a tradition of getting a serving of “table pasta” each night to share. Gives us a taste without pushing us over the edge!

Here is the dock at Puntarenas…

And we stirred up the mud, and up came a turtle! My first wildlife of the trip.

While MB continued her shopping for clothes (and Christmas), I went to church…

And then to the bodega for booze and soda. Then back to the boat for lunch and because of the heat.

Another lovely dinner at our usual table…

Followed by the house band playing up in Adagio (three floors above us) – they were FANTASTIC, really, the best entertainment on the boat, sadly, they back up all the other acts most of the time.

If you want to see the boat decked out in Christmas, it’s starting to come out of the closet.

More sea days, including the second of three formal nights.

And another wonderful performance by the house band the following night, this time with better pictures – we stayed for both sets, they added several more musicians during the break.

Next stop – Puntarenas.
