Dec 20 - Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

 Dec 20 - Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

We have arrived in Puerto Vallarta!  77° and sunny!

But first, we must report that, last evening, our toilet flushing was restored!  So no Presidential Suite!  No skipping down the hall in our nighties to our ‘satellite’ potty in the middle of the night!  Oh well!  It was fun to speculate!

Today we had intended to go to the Malecón, but it turned out to be much more difficult than we had anticipated.  First of all, it was a lot farther from where we are docked than we remembered from 2020; we would have had to take a cab there and back with them charging $25 per person each way!!!  

That seemed totally ridiculous, so we considered another option - a city bus!  That might have been ok, but we soon found out that the cruise lines and the merchants have created a long, circuitous route through a mini mall to get to the street!  After winding through the mall and then realizing that the bus stop was still a long way off, this old dame decided it would not work! 😢 because we still had the walk along the Malecón and the return trip to the ship ahead of us.

So - Plan B was to reboard the ship and enjoy a relaxing day!  After lunch, given the gorgeous weather, we spent the afternoon on the Promenade Deck, reading, walking, people watching, and playing on our iPads!

And now we will soon change for dinner and see what lovely wine they are serving!  I wonder what liqueur Boots will bring tonight!!  

Not much to report when we are just lazing around on the ship!  And tomorrow is another sea day!  We certainly aren’t complaining as we have had a couple of weather updates from home!! The saying ‘ a bad day on a ship is better than a good day at home?’ comes to mind!!

Ciao for now!

The Lazy, Well-Rested Travellers
