NOVEMBER 27 - PUERTO VALLARTA - THANKSGIVING DAY

Ok Ok Ok. I know I have been horrible at posting daily but so many things have happened recently that I got to get this cruise over with so I can post those other things. Today it was Thanksgiving day we went to Puerto Vallarta. This is the most comercialized out of all of our destinations. The old down town was pretty cool. That's where we spent our whole day. And then we had dinner at the most amazing restaurant that sits on top of the hill called El Panorama. It was incredible and the views were breathtaking!!  So here we go. 

Our Lady of Guadalupe Cathedral in Old Town Puerto Vallarta.  Built in 1929. 

Cheesy pic of the Great Sea Wall.

Kyle snuck this picture of a classroom. They are so cute. 

This is the view from the restaurant where we ate. 

This was our chef. He cooked the food right by us. 

And the  finished products.

I ordered tortilla soup because I was sick and it was superb.

This was Ky's meal. It was delicious, I have never had anything like it. 

And Dessert.

Our entertainment.

The sunset.

The streets were so small and had cobblestone roads. 

Since I was a little sick this day we didn't go to Club Viking. We decided to have hot chocolate on the deck.

NOVEMBER 26 - MAZATLAN

This was my favorite destination of the whole cruise. We had no plan so we just got off the boat and met this great taxi driver/tour guide who said he would show 4 of us the city for $10 each. That is so cheap. He took us to this beautiful mountain to view the town, then to a flea market, then to see the famous cliff divers (this definitely beats the divers at Mayan), then to a beach resort where we played for a couple hours and got fake tatoos and then he picked us up after and took us back to the cruise ship. He was so dependable and cheap, it was our own personal chauffeur. We hung out with Erik and his girlfriend Summer all day and had a blast. And I ordered shrimp tacos at this little bar on the beach and they were amazing!!! I want to go back and spend more time in Mazatlan. If any of you go there and need a tour guide he gave us all his contact info.

Summer. Kyle. Erik. Britt. This is our sweet ride.


Up Up Up the hill we Putt Putt Putt. Can't believe we made it.


Mazatlan from the mountain top.


The view was amazing.


The amazing cliff diver.


He had to wait for the perfect time when the wave was just big enough because the water was so shallow and rocky. I don't know how they do it and don't die.


This dog was crazy. Kyle and I being the dog lovers that we are wanted to drive past this dog who was sitting in front of a door smiling and wagging his tail. We drove past and Summer said hi doggy and it showed it's scary teeth and jumped at us. It was the creepiest thing ever.


Immaculate Conception Basillica. The main cathedral.


It is gorgeous.


Tatts Baby.

Summer.


Erik.


Kyle. APX for life.


All of the tattoos were super cheesy. I wanted to get a heart with Kyle's name in it but he wouldn't let me. So I went for the super star.


Our beach hang out.


Lorenzo our taxi driver. He is the coolest.

NOVEMBER 25 - CABO SAN LUCAS

This place is amazing. It is beautiful and the weather was 85 degrees. The water was so warm too. The boat couldn't dock so we had to take tender boats off of the ship. We didn't get off the boat until 1 pm so we only had a few hours to spend here. We got a glass bottom taxi tour of the bay, snorkeled, played at Lovers Beach and had dinner at The Office Restaurant. All of the transportation and tour and snorkeling gear was only $40. We saw 2 blowfish they were a little intimidating and the dinner we had at The Office was incredible and so fresh off the barbie. I want to go back to Cabo and spend more time there!

The view while we waiting all morning to get off the dang ship.


This is on our Taxi boat. In the background there are many pelicans, I think they called it white rock or something because of all the poop from the birds.


Our taxi was sweet.


This was our driver. He was classic.


Our driver was kinda crazy. He just drove through all of the snorkelers and kayakers. We almost hit someone. And through the glass bottom we could see a scuba driver that we drove over. It was O.O.C. (out of control)


Ky Ky on the boat.




The famous arches.




This is right after we got worked by the waves trying to back on the beach after snorkeling. It was a sad sight, I wonder what people thought watching us as we being tossed and turned through the waves.


I just love this picture.






On Lovers Beach with my Lover.


Dinner at The Office.


Delicious Strawberry Daiquiris.


Sippin' on my strawberry straw.


Yes there is a beautiful view in the back, but before you could look at that there were so many venders walking up and down the beach with sad faces trying to get you to buy something. There were so many. These signs meant that they couldn't cross the line, but they stayed there and stared at us, it was kind of awkward. I kind got a little glimpse of what famous people feel like being followed by paparazzi.


Britt the Bandita.


These guys were awesome and played La Bamba for us.
