Time for a beer
We did go into the indoor market on the way back towards the marina. Inside it was 10 or more degrees warmer and even more humid. Once we had squeezed our way through the stalls and fellow tourists the quayside was a pleasant relief. Definitely time for a beer. Senor Frogs was playing music so loud that we carried on walking to the next restaurants.
We were seated in the raised shaded part of the restaurant overlooking the marina. Two of our fellow passengers from Australia came to share our table after spotting us as they walked past. They were originally from Scotland and had lead interesting lives. This ranged from running a B&B in the Hebrides to having an orchard in Perth. He was hungry and ordered french fries.
I had another beer as we all chatted and enjoyed the shade. Despite asking for separate bills, the waiter lumped it all together. To add insult to injury he hadn’t even added the bill up correctly. He became quite abusive when we tried to sort the bill out. This is one bar to avoid in Cabo San Lucas.
It did have an interesting quote though on a sign.
Wine is sure proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy
Ben Franklin (and me)
After all the hassles we had had walking around this latest argument convinced us that it was time to go back to the ship after once last walk along the quay.
Back to the Coral Princess
We had a thankfully short queue to get on board one of the Cabo San Lucas provided tenders. The ship’s officers counted everyone onto the tender and just like our trip to the shore the local crew wanted more passengers on the boat. After a lot of negotiation passengers in the forward cabin did slide along their bench seats so a third passenger could sit.
On our way back to the ship we had a last view at the public beach and the sentry there.
As this was a port day the only restaurant open on the ship was the Deck 14 food courts. This would be a first for us after our first day on board. The restaurant was very full but we did manage to find a couple of seats. I had ochra curry and rice and some fruit. We then went out by the pool and sat in the shade eating some of the delicious ice-cream.
