Cozumel

We have a late arrival, 11:00, since I knew this and the fact there are lots of ships in port today I had pre reserved a day at Nachi Cocum for us. 
Dave gets a run in and I do my exercises the PT gave me for my knee and then walk laps while waiting for our arrival. Dave reports an officer  told him he couldn’t run on the promanade, he has run out there two other days, and the gym attendants told him you can run on the promanade, there is no jogging track on this ship. Dave said an elderly man with a cane would hold it up and shake it at him when he went by, he thinks the man must have reported him. Dave called quest services and was again told you can run on the promanade as long as it is not wet and slippery, it is perfectly dry....hmm who is right???
 We take a taxi to get to Nachi Cocum, 17.00 dollars each way. The resort is lovely and so peaceful! It is an all inclusive day resort. They limit the number of guests to 120, I don’t think there were that many people here today. 
We are shown to our spot for the day and order our first drinks, beer for Dave and of course a margarita for me, it is a true Mexico margarita:) 
The resort is on a lovely stretch of quiet beach, has a pool with swim up bar, restaurant, WiFi, additional services for fees such as massages, stand up paddle boards. We brought our own snorkel and floats do we are set. Think I payed  64.00 per person. 







Dave joins me in a margarita since they are good ones:)

We again do our usual beach stuff, swim, float, walk, get on the Internet to check on thing back home and post my blog. 





We snack on guacamole, salsa and chips, then choose quesadillas for lunch.


 They have a large menu to choose from including shrimp, fish, enchiladas and fajitas and desserts. We order a couple diet cokes and waters, 2 margaritas and I need to be done! The waiter doesn’t think so and brings us a couple more!! Of course I drink it, then more water and diet cokes to hydrate!!!
We stay until 4:30 then taxi back to ship. We drop off our stuff in our room and change clothes and head out to walk to town. We stop at an OXXI along the way and pick up our favorite sparkly water we get in PV.

We forget what a long walk it is to get to town and turn around after we walk 40 minutes, it is hot and my knee is hurting. 





We are docked by an AIDA ship, the staff is pouring alcohol drinks and handling them out for their guests as the board!  Obviously free and huge choices. We ask a crew member where they sailed from, Germany! We noticed lots of young people and young families boarding, I guess they get a lot more vacation time than we do in the US because that would be a long cruise! 


We shower and head to dinner. Quiet night in the dining room, again late dinner and we are here until 11:00 pm. 
We are given a great seat st the rear window where we can watch the AIDA ship prepare to leave port and then sail away. 







After dinner we head to the lido deck where a local mariachi group has been brought on to provide entertainment tonight. 

Then back to the B.B. Blues Club, we stay through 2 sets, no dancing tonight though, I have a headache.... maybe too much tequila???
I grab a couple glasses of ice water to take back to our room and we call it a night. We really did have a wonderfully beautiful day! Might have been the best day yet on this cruise :)
