After a nice breakfast in the buffet, we disembarked the Majestic Princess in Mazatlan. Today we chose the hop-on hop-off bus tour in order to cover more of the city. Our double decker open-air bus conveniently picked us up and returned us ship side. Our stops included watching cliff divers, walking the Historic District, visiting the City Aquarium and lunch in the Golden Zone. The weather was warm and humid but the breezes were lovely.
The stop for the cliff diver show consisted of pulling off the side of the road to view one diver. Impressive that he dove into shallow rocky water, but I expected to see multiple divers. Luckily we were on the upper deck of the bus and my camera was ready.
The Cathedral was beautiful with golden and grey arches, tiled ceilings, gorgeous crystal chandeliers, reliefs and statues.
The City Aquarium was meh. Nice to walk around but just an aquarium. Not worth the extra $9 USD per person.
Fourth stop was the Golden Zone filled with plenty of shopping and restaurants. We ate at Restaurant Margaritas. This was just a small Mexican restaurant nestled between 2 retail shops. A gentleman walked around singing typical Mexican folkloric tunes (for a tip of course). We enjoyed a taco plate and a cool beverage before heading back to the Majestic.
Back on the ship, it was Italian night at the Alegro. My seafood antipasto was filled with lucious shrimp, black mussels, squid, pickled vegetables and kalamata olives. I followed with minestrone soup and sautéed shrimp and sea scallops. I had the chocolate Love Boat as well as an assortment of cookies - butterscotch, chocolate, almond and lemon. Our wait staff tonight was Rea & Mary from the Philippines. They made our dinner so enjoyable, so we decided to make reservations to dine in the Alegro again tomorrow night at a table in their section.
I’m typing this in the fresh sea air on the balcony of our stateroom. As I glanced out, I saw a dolphin racing along with us. What a wonderful site.
