Honeymoon Part 3- Mazatlan

Our second port was Mazatlan! We didn't book a shore excursion through the ship in this port, we decided to just venture off and do our own thing.

I woke up that morning to the balcony door closing. Nathan got up to take pictures of the boat docking. I can't give you too many details about it, because I went back to sleep- but judging by the pictures it looks like it's quite a job!


Those are some big ropes!


After I finally got my lazy butt out of bed and got ready for the day, we went upstairs and got some breakfast and then walked out on deck and took pictures of the city.



See those buildings way off in the distance in the picture above? We took a taxi from our ship all the way over there to those resorts. Our taxi rides in Mazatlan were a bit of an adventure- talk about crazy taxi! It was fun though, and a good way to see the city.
We spent a few hours out and about, shopping and playing at the beach. The weather was PERFECT for the beach. It was nice and warm, and the water was so perfect. Usually when I go to the beach the water is a bit chilly but not in Mazatlan! I'm glad we decided to go to be beach bums here, the next day in Cabo everyone was talking about how cold the water was and how they were freezing their butts off.


Nathan enjoying the fabulous beach conditions. We spent a lot of time in the water, because it was so nice.


Ahhhh! So relaxing!


We had to take a picture of this, we thought it was so funny. It's the K-mart special store down in the golden zone in Mazatlan. The shopping would have been absolutley awesome if we had, had more money. There were really great stores in the golden zone like Daimonds International and another Del Sol- they were fun to look around. We bought another plate for our collection and found a spoon for Nathan's mom in a shop that was a little more in our price range.



This is a picture of the ship from our taxi. The way the driver was driving I was worried I might never see it again! haha

We finished the day watching the sunset as we sailed away from Mazatlan and headed off to Cabo San Lucas.
