Yesterday (Sunday) was another fun day at sea. We planned to play putt-putt golf, but it was crazy windy on the top deck, so we bailed and went back to the pool bar.
My streak of never in my life winning at Bingo is intact, as I lost all three games we played. But one of the 2 lottery tickets I got when I bought my Bingo cards was a $10 winner, so I guess I did okay.
Last night after a delicious dinner, we had an after-dinner drink in our favorite bar – Alchemy Bar. We love the duo that plays there so we had a fun time dancing the evening away.
Today was our day in Ensenada. Luckily, we were able to just walk off instead of tendering like in Cabo on Saturday.
We had arranged to take a tuk-tuk tour of the city and a gourmet lunch.
We drove by a fish market that had some amazing looking fresh seafood.
Then it was a short stop at the beach. The only way to access the beach was either to walk down a dozen very big steps (without a handrail) or to walk down a very steep boat ramp. Since we didn’t want to do either of those things, we enjoyed the view from the top.
Our plan was to visit the cathedral but, sadly, it wasn’t open. So, we only stayed a few minutes to get pictures of the outside.
Our next stop was to the Santo Tomas Winery which has been in Ensenada for 135 years.
Our final stop before lunch was main street for a little shopping. I got a new travel purse as the one I had was just a bit too small. This one is a little bigger and real leather so it should hold out well on all my future trips.
Our tour included a “gourmet lunch” of tacos at a local restaurant. I’m not sure I would have called it a gourmet lunch, but the tacos were delicious.
Before heading back to the ship, we made one more stop for a tequila tasting. Ann, Colleen and I sat that one out, but the other girls had a great time tasting their SEVEN shots of tequila. I would have needed to be carried out, but they did just fine.
All in all, it was a fabulous day in Ensenada. We have one more night at sea before leaving the ship tomorrow morning in Long Beach. Then it’s the trek home. Our flight isn’t until 1:40 so we’ll have a bit of time at the airport but I’m sure we’ll find something to do.
My next trip begins in less than 2 months when I head to London on my way to South Africa for the long-delayed safari. I hope to see you there.
