We had a great night at the show! The Hypnotist was amazing. I was selected to go on stage, but declined! He did a test, we all had to hold out our arms and close our eyes. He gave instructions and I did everything he was saying. Clive said he wasn't at all responsive like me! The guy is holding three seminars, so I may go. I'm sure he will want us to buy something!
Today we are in Puerto Chiapas. This area is so different from Cabo San Lucas. The land is now flat and very dense with forest. Much more tropical. I believe nearby they have Banana plantations. We are now in Central America. It is close to Guatemala. Drugs a big problem in this area. Cartels in operation. It a man made port area. They have a craft hut, restaurants and bars. Not a lot, but very clean and pretty.

Day 73. Huatulco
Up early and off to the Hairdresser! I arrive and this Thai man comes out! I ask if he is going to cut my hair -" oh yes" he says! I think, here we go again - English not too good! He is so excited when I tell him I come from England - he was trained by Toni And Guy! What a relief! I am expecting things to go better.
He does the most brilliant cut, even if a little short. He really knows his stuff. So relieved. He suggests some products ( of course - and of course, I buy them.). Good start to the day. I can also see from the Salon that we have docked - what a pretty bay! Only small but so lovely and the sun is glorious! Can't wait to get off.
Off we come. We find a restaurant - and beer - and I can blog! This is such a great spot. Open air bar. Shaded and cool but a wonderful view of the little harbour and bay - just perfect! Now we have some entertainers arrive. They play bamboo xylophone's! Not always that well it would seem! The beer is helping though!
I feel this is another great day! Hypnotist tonight!

Day 72. Sea Day
We have a day at sea today.
We do our morning walk around the deck track. Three and a half laps = one mile. I feel I can justify my breakfast if I walk! We have decided to breakfast late today as we are going to have an Indian meal tonight - so no lunch we think! It is a lovely day. Clive has a lot of reading to do, so I go walk about and do my own thing.
I have booked a hair cut for 8 am tomorrow - lets hope it is ok this time !
I go back to the room and watch a movie in the afternoon - Groundhog Day - very funny. We have decided to go to the show first tonight. They have had some fantastic entertainment on this part of the cruise. We had a brilliant comedian, a fantastic ventriloquist and a amazing Banjo player! Tonight is the first Production Show - Encore. It is a tribute to some of the great musicals. It is a brilliant show. We both enjoy it.
Off to the restaurant for our Indian meal. It is really good. We sit on a table with four others - it's a good evening. We have been eating at the Buffet, so it is a nice change to dress up!
Huatulco tomorrow. We have no trip booked, so will try and find a restaurant with WiFi ( and beer!)

Day 71. Puerto Vallarta
A long night at sea. We didn't dock until 11am.
Puerto Vallarta is a much bigger town than Cabo San Lucas. I think it has been a resort for a long time. We are at the port, a little way out of the town. They have a Flea Market. Many of the same items in each store. Better deals to be had in Mexico! My case is getting heavier by the day! - mostly for the kids!
It has started to rain and I have found my way to a bar! Well, just aswell take advantage of the free Wi Fi! ( good job I'm on my own!). Clive has given this one a miss. They had said we had to be aware of our belongings when we are out in the town - so I'm going it alone. You know me, I love a bargain !
We have a Mexican Band and dancers on board this afternoon. It should be fun! Note to self - don't stay too long in the bar!

Day 70. Cabo San Lucas. Mexico
Early start!
We have to Tender today to get ashore! This is quite a long process! We are lucky and get through on time! Clive has booked a Coastal Cruise! It's wonderful- Margaritta's all the way! -well for me! It was a great two hours and then back to Cabo. Cabo St Lucas has around 300 days of sunshine a year! Winters of 70deg. and summers of 90 deg. Doesn't sound bad to me! There are some spectacular rock formations. They have a rock like Durdle Door! They have a seal colony and Whales in Jan an Feb. Its a kind of shame to commercialise it, but this is a poor country.
We get some good gifts, well I think so! I think my Grandchildren will be pleased to see me! I do miss them all. It's lovely to FaceTime them and my children. See you all soon!
