Second day in Puerto Vallarta

Second day in Puerto Vallarta( Dec.8)

We had nothing booked for our second day here; we knew we would have to have time to recover from the day before when we had 2 excursions and a late night.

Basically I spent the day catching up on the blog and visiting. I got up at seven and went to the jogging track for my walk. I did 16 laps and then headed to the coffee bar. I picked up a regular coffee for me and a Mocha for Ken. I came back to the room and got Ken and we went topside to have breakfast. It is lovely up there most of the time but it was really great this morning. The sun was shining and there was no wind. The air was warm. I went to the omelet station and had the chef make me a vegetarian one. He asked if I like peppers and when I said yes he added jalapenos. Well, when I ate it the insides of my ears burned. What a great omelet. Ken didn’t want a taste, I wonder why?  

After breakfast I sat on the balcony and got some sun and I worked on the blog. Because we had such a large breakfast I had a banana for lunch and called it a meal.

Even though we were right across from a large shopping mall we resisted the temptation to check it out. We did not need anything and going there may have resulted in us buying a sombrero.:-)We have noticed that a lot more of the cabin doors are decorated for  Xmas. I believe Wal-Mart did a good business.

We were having trouble with our television and the movie for the evening was supposed to be The Martian. So I called passenger services and within an hour we had a NEW television. The repair person said the company made a mistake and ordered poor quality Chinese televisions and they were dying all over the ship. Michael and Jan and Dave and Barb have also had to have new televisions installed.

Dinner was very good. I had the seafood kabobs and Ken had surf and turf. After dinner we went to the show in Cabaret Lounge. It always amazes me that they can do the shows in such a small venue. The audience is so up close and personal. We were in the second row and the dancers can almost sit in your lap. The show was “Do you Wanna Dance”. We have seen it done many times, on th e big ships, when the production was long and when it was shorter and now in the small venue. We have enjoyed it every time.

After the show we chatted with Richard and Mary for a few minutes and then we came back to the cabin to change. This was go to the pool and hot tub night. We had both all to ourselves. It was like being on a private yacht.

 Every now and then someone would pass by carrying their bed time snack.

One passer- by was Carlos Oscar. We made sure to tell him how happy we were that he had joined the ship and that we were really looking forward to his show. He has to be one of the best comedians ever. I am actually tempted to skip dinner so I can see his show twice. He seemed flattered that we remembered him.

After the pool we returned to the cabin in time to watch The Martian.

What an amazing relaxing day this has been.

Tomorrow we will be in Manzanillo
