Day 3 - Cabo San Lucas

All I have to say is I LOVE CABO SAN LUCAS!!!

As you probably guessed, day 3 was Cabo San Lucas. Our first port of call. DeeDee and I started off the day with an early (9:30) breakfast as the ship pulled into Cabo. We got into Cabo at about 10:30 am and we had an Exploration planned for 11:30am. On the first day we got on the boat, DeeDee and I signed up for Snuba. Well this was the place to do it.

We were scheduled to meet other people on our Exploration at 11:15 am in one of the lounges on the boat, the Some Enchanted Evenings Lounge. We go there at about 10:45 am and decided to sit and enjoy the scenery out the windows.

We sat for about 25 minutes and then our group was called and it was time to go down to the tender that would take us to the port. Cabo was the only port that we could not pull right up to. The tender to the coast was about 15-20 minutes and very choppy.

Once we got the the port, we got off the tender, found our Exploration and had to sign releases. After we did that we sat and people watched for a few minutes while we waited for the little boat that would take us to the SNUBA platform. Once we got to the platform it was time to suit up. All I have to say is thank god I had put a wetsuit on before and that I had some expierence with a regulator beacuse if I didn't, it would have been a lot more difficult.

We had our breifing session and off we went. I had to put my camera away once we got to the platform beacuse it was not a vey big platform and I didn't want to risk dropping my camera in the water, so sorry no wetsuit pictures. So after we suited up, it was time to dive. SNUBA is a combination of snorkeling and scuba diving. It is kinda cool. So you have your regulator and mask, but instead of having the air tank on your back it follows you above the water in raft. You can only go down about 20 feet, but its still better then just at the surface. We were down for about 1 1/2 hours and I made almost the whole time. About 5 minutes before it was over my ears stopped equalizing. We went back to the platform and got out of our wetsuits. After we were back in our clothes and dried off we went back to the port to get some lunch and do some shopping.

We decided that lunch first would be the best choice. So, we had lunch at Cabo Wabo and had a blast. The food was great and the service wasn't to bad either. We saw all the pictures of Sammy Hagar and all the famous people that had eaten there. It was pretty cool.

After Cabo Wabo we walked around, did some shopping and then we decided that "when in Mexico, you have to have a beer." So, we found a little bar right near Cabo Wabo. I don't remember the name, but their sign had a hippo head on it. Then we sat down and had a beer.

Well, I had half a beer and DeeDee finished mine for me.

After our beer it was time to start heading back to the boat and take our time doing it. Once we got back to the port we decided that it was a good place to catch up on our email. The internet cafe at the dock was really affordable. We sat and emailed then got in line to take the tender back to the boat. While we were waiting in line, a pirate ship decided to pass on by.

Dinner that night was casual and just a chance to relax. After dinner I went walking around the boat.

Then it was off to bed. And look who was waiting for me.
