Today we docked in beautiful Los Cabos around 10am. It was a tender port so we anchored in the bay away from the arches. Everywhere on the boat had an amazing view without even getting off the ship.
We left on our own (no excursion) around 11am after having a quick breakfast and took a small tender boat to the marina. We were immediately bombarded with vendors, loud party music from the bars, etc. It was a very loud port. We walked a block away to the taxi station and asked to be taken to Medano Beach in Cabo San Lucas. This was a 2 mile stretch of beach mostly populated with hotels and restaurants. You were allowed to use the beach and chairs if you ordered food and drinks at whatever restaurant you stayed at. I had done a bit of research and knew to go to the very end of the beach in order to avoid the crazy spring break partiers. We went to Medano Beach Club- which ended up being a good choice. We stayed there for about 4 hours eating and drinking and playing in the surf. The undertow was really strong so no one was swimming- P got knocked over a cpl times even holding onto me in ankle deep water. The cool water felt great though- as it was 85 degrees in Cabo today. The prices were reasonable too- for 3 entrees, chips/salsa and 6 drinks it was only $60. Not bad for four hours there.
We took a taxi back to the Marina and wandered a bit through the arts and crafts market. Piper and I each got a sundress and Aidan got a wooden bow and arrow. We then took a tender boat back to the boat and relaxed for a bit. I tried to get Piper to take a nap knowing that we would be up late (it was pirate night) but it didn’t work. We laid around for a bit then headed to dinner in Animators Palette. The food was Caribbean themed which was good, but both kids were cranky. Matt and I took our dessert back to the room and Aidan went to the kids clubs.
We tried to once again get P to lay down but it didn’t work really. At 9:30 we headed up on deck (after getting Aidan) with pirate gear on and waited for the pre show/fireworks. Piper started nodding off on Matt’s shoulder and Aidan wanted to go back to the room so we all headed back down. I had booked a room that I knew faced the fireworks so I was hoping that we would still be able to enjoy them. I tucked P into bed and Matt and I got our desserts from earlier and went out onto the verandah. The firework show was great- and they were so close and right in front of us. It was nice to be able to watch them from the room.
We are all tucked into bed- its an early morning tomorrow as we have a tour in San Jose del Cabo.
