The Incomparable James Hannan

So, I mentioned the cruise we recently went on, leaving Los Angeles, and heading down to Mexico - stopping in 3 ports, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan & Cabo San Lucas.

When you stop in each port, you generally arrive early in the morning, and you have the whole day in that city to spend the day doing what you like. Out of the three we visited, all were nice in their own way, but I have to say Cabo San Lucas was the highlight.

After having walked around for a little while, we headed back to the Marina and got a small glass bottom boat out to the beaches and looking at all the fish around the reef. Here is a photo I took going through the amazing rocks;

We then stopped at Lovers Beach, which was just stunning, here is a photo;

I should also show you the view we woke up to when we had docked in Cabo, we sat on our balcony of the boat eating breakfast while looking out over this - it was unbelievable;

While Cabo was probably our favourite place, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta were still great, here are some shots I took while there;

We took a walk along the beach in Mazatlan;

And this one was taken at some markets in Puerto Vallarta;

After we walked around the markets, we headed up the mountains to a scenic restaurant that over looks all the waterfalls - it was great Mexican food in a great location;

All in all, it was a great cruise, and we were able to see 3 great parts of Mexico, places we probably would never had seen without being on the cruise. This years cruise is through South America and the Panama Canal, so should be great.
