A boiling hot day and humid at times. Still steaming south just off the coast of Mexico. Around Acapulco at lunch time. Lots more sea creatures today: dolphins and porpoises, all leaping and jumping alongside the ship. A lovely sight. Lay by the pool for a while this morning reading and then had my hair cut. It had got pretty long. Very traumatic using a strange hairdresser. You have to explain everything to them and then watch like a hawk as they cut....

Back at sea again cruising south along the coast of Mexico proper. We have 3 sea days before we reach Puntarenas, Costa Rica on the 7th. It is now officially HOT again. The sun is strong and mucho suncream is required. We're both very brown and we don't even lie out in it all day like some people. Anyway, we did peg out beside the pool this morning, reading and occasionally leaping up to see the pods of dolphins and whales that kept joining our wake. ...

Brilliant day in Cabo San Lucas, the Lands End of Baja California, literally at the tip of the land where two seas merge.

Cabo seemed like Sin City after that, be...

3 weeks today and we'll be home! Wow! That went quickly…. And this three weeks will fly by too. A lovely sunny lazy sea day. We set an alarm so that we woke up in time to get a lounger in the place we like the best. As I have mentioned before there is no shortage of deck space or loungers but we like a particular little corner and clearly so do some other people!!! Anyway, we pitched out in our favourite place and read all morning enjoying the sun. I...
