| a tasty breaky to get us going |
Got a few walkabouts after breaky and before we hit shore. Gotta work off all this food. Checked out the fitness places but made good use of the walk track. after today was done I actually got 6 miles walked. Including a lot of stairs, being we are on the 9th level and other things 10, 11 or 4 and 5th level, but the stairs are good for a change we don't do that many anymore.

Where have we been this Winter?
Now that is a long pier to walk to get to town. Looks like you had a great time in Cozumel and a wonderful real Mexican lunch. Good for you for finding such a place. Just remember that the real Tres Amigos is the RV park here on Stone Island/Isla de la Piedra, Mazatlan. Keep having fun.
ReplyDeleteIt is a long pier but we were prepared to walk lots today and did get a little over 6 miles in. Yes there'll Tres Amigos campground is on Isla Piedra we had lots offun there, this is the bar though a long way away.
DeleteAnother wonderful day of exploring. Sometime even if you've been to a place before there is still more to see. Everything is so colorful
ReplyDeleteYes JO it was a fun day we enjoyed revisiting and the atmosphere,of downtown. we do enjoy and some real Mexican food..
DeleteYou guys are having so much fun. Love the boots. I think you should have a pair. You would find the real Mexican restaurant and not just the tourist places. Way to go.
ReplyDeleteWe are having a ball. The boots are fun but not too practical.
DeleteThe best places to eat are away from the tourist places we have learned.
Looks like another wonderful day for you two! So much fun and lunch certainly looked delicious. Glad you were able to make it back to the ship without much wetness. Your balcony looks amazing along with your room!
ReplyDeleteWe are enjoying the cruise and visiting different places. We got lucky missing most of the rain, better than some people.
DeleteThe room and Balcony is wonderful too.
From the pictures and descriptions looks and sounds like a fun day. I agree with Shirley, really nice room and balcony.
ReplyDeleteThanks it was a fun day and more to come.
DeleteMuch different view entering from the cruise ship side instead of the airport. Looks like things have changed a little. They are becoming a big tourist destination. I just LOVE that movie screen. How cool!!
ReplyDeleteIt has changed over the years and it just a big tourist attraction now. That screen looks wonderful maybe we will catch a movie there.
DeleteI like your room with the balcony. We went to Cozumel a few times several years ago and loved it. I found a bench outside a restaurant on the square and they served me margaritas while Bev shopped and I people watched.
ReplyDeleteWE loving the rooms as well, we don't do much shopping but they do offer you free drinks in lotsa places
DeleteNice trip into Cozumel for the day. Love the bright colours of Mexico. There are always new things to see, I find, no matter if you've been to a place before.
ReplyDeleteKeep on having fun!
WE love the bright colours here as well and just enjoying Mexico for what it is.
DeleteLooks like another enjoyable day exploring Cozumel and the Ship.
ReplyDeleteBe Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
It was a very fun day thanks.
DeleteWe were in Cozumel on our last cruise. Your posts make me want to do another one for sure. Rain or shine its always fun. So nice to see you two having fun, although you have fun no matter what you are doing.
ReplyDeleteCozumel an cruises are always fun And you know we have fun wherever we go.
DeleteThat's a BIG ship! It can offer a lot more to do than the smaller ones. I think I'd be claustrophobic without your balcony, nice place to sit outside with a bit of privacy.
ReplyDeleteIt is a huge ship and lots to do , Our first balcony is a real bonus, but no matter lotsa place to enjoy pursed, inside or by the windows, every private spots as well.
DeleteThat's one big ship!
ReplyDeleteYes it is easy to get lost on.
DeleteWhat a great time you seem to be having! Lunch looked delicious. The balcony room looks wonderful for sitting and reading.
ReplyDeleteWe are really enjoying ourselves so much to see and do,
