Mexico cruise

In Puerta Vallarta Dad and I went to see Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's villas. It was really neat. When Elizabeth sold them 1984 she left everything inside so all the furniture inside now was hers. The two villas were connected by a Venice-type bridge because Richard was married at the time. This way they could sneak across to each other undetected. Richards villas actually had no street level door, the only way in was thru Elizabeths'.

That is out ship from the beach of Cabo. The ship couldn't dock and we had to take a smaller boat to shore.




We spent our few hours at Billigan's on the beach. The beach is lined with causal restaurants/bars.
Joanne got us a great deal to do a private glass bottom boat tour.




This beach is called Lovers Beach because of the gentle waves. On the other side is Divorce Beach with big crashing waves! Divorce beach is on the Gulf of California and Divorce Beach is the Pacific.




Behind me is the Pacific Window, where you can see the Pacific Ocean.






There was a rocky outcrop filled with lazing seals.






On one of the last nights there was a champagne waterfall. After wards everyone thru streamers.

Hilary and I had high expectations and thought the tower would be up to the ceiling, but it was only about 7 feet high.



This was our last dinner on the ship. Everyone was worn out by this time and we "slummed it" at the buffet.






The limo home. Dad had pre-arranged the pick-up but was still had to wait more than 30 minutes. But it was a good way to end the trip; in style!
