Day Four we made it to Mexico!!
The day started with a nice big breakfast. You can kind of see the Mexican flag behind the kids in this picture.
Then it was time to venture off of the ship. They had all the people taking pictures of us and wouldn't let me take a picture but I did sneak this one...
Our day in Mexico ended up being not what we had planned. I was so excited to find this really fun zip lining place that was about 30 minutes from the port. I was ready to get a cab or Uber but Spencer was stressing out and did not feel comfortable with that. I was having deja vu of our last Mexico experience when he was freaking out about it not being safe. I get it Mexico is not the safest place but it is an adventure and from all the reviews I read everyone takes a cab and it is fine! Well when we got off the ship there where buses waiting and a guide told us that they had a package deal to the zip lining place and la bufadora all on a bus with a group of people. We thought how perfect!! So us and about 20 others loaded a bus to the main bus station to buy the tickets for the package. When we got there it looked like a very dirty out door night club with a nasty pool and rap music blaring oh and about 5 men selling fake jewelry and a couple women trying to braid our hair. It was weird!! Anyways we bought our package deal and was told to have a margarita and wait. Well we didn't have the drink but we sat down and waited....and waited and waited some more. They told us 10 minutes and we waited for over 30 by the time we got up and asked what was going on?!? Other buses were leaving but not ours. I guess we were the only ones that signed up for the zip lining and in order for them to go they need a minimum of 8 people. So we waited and waited some more but no luck no one was signing up for our tour. People were signing up for just the la bufadora. Well after an hour we gave up and got our money back and just did the la bufadora. I was super disappointed but glad to be doing something other than sitting on a nasty seat wondering what went on at that night club the night before. We boarded the bus with a group of others and headed to la bufadora. Of course they say it's a 20 minute bus ride but turns into over an hour.
yay la bufadora......
It is interesting and as sad as I was to miss zip lining I was happy that we were safe and maybe this was a better adventure for our small family.
Then it was time to shop around. We only had an hour so it was quick. We got some very yummy churros (Carter was in heaven!)
The kids got their names written on rice....
and we had probably the best tacos ever....
The shopping was fun but stressful. The people were very pushy and begged a lot. The kids thought it was cool that the price was always changing. Mexico was fun and it felt so cool getting to take the kids out of country for a day.
Once back on the ship they had a build a bear workshop for the kids. We let the kids pick out a bear for a fun way to remember their vacation...
What a fun souvenir!
After we built our bears we headed out for some water slide fun...
I went down it too but that picture is on Spencer's phone. We all had a lot of fun!
That night we had a nice dinner and then went to the last show. We had amazing seats!
The kids had another fun night at camp ocean!
We were sad it was our last night but excited for our vacation to keep going! Cruising was so much fun with the kids and we already want to plan another one very soon! Up next Disneyland Vacation!
