Many thanks for the comments about imposters taking over our blog due to us declining free wine.  We are just pacing ourselves!!!

 

Monday 7^th January – Day at sea.

Well another day running around trying to fit in lectures around activities!

 

We ate in the (posh) Explorer restaurant.  Menu not as good as on last 2 cruises but it evidently changes again on 14^th January so we may try and fit in another one.  The ‘Malbec’ is back in stock though not on the wine list so we might have to order some more another night.  The evening ‘entertainment’ programme continues to underwhelm and the 150 less people on board means sometimes venues are nearly empty.

 

Having spoken to several of the new passengers and heard about their free upgrades and on board credit incentives we e-mailed Voyages of Discovery UK and copied the Ship in, but no one has bothered to reply to us yet.

 

Tuesday 8^th January – Progresso, Mexico.

Well we got to visit our first Mayan site, Chichen Itza, today.  My first impression was that the pyramid was not as big as I had expected – no change there then!!  Weather was hot but there was a strong breeze and not too many people to make it oppressive.  After a guided tour we had a free hour to explore ourselves, which turned into 1hour 20 mins as we ‘got lost’ and couldn’t find the way out.  Rest of our coach looked a bit cross when we finally found them.  The countryside to and from the site was not very inspiring but we really enjoyed our day.

 We had an early night as we were tired – ahh.   Still having problems getting our pictures on the blog.
