Ensenada, Mexico

The ship arrived at 6 am and had manoeuvred to the dock by 7 am in Ensanada, Mexico. We are enjoying the sunshine on our deck this morning watching people disembark for tours.


This is a Carnival ship that pulled into port about an hour after we did!

We had pre-booked a kayaking tour with Baja Blue Diver. We left the ship at 9 am and wandered through the gardens of the Baja California while waiting to meet our guides Diego and Jonathon just a few blocks away from the ship. Another family of three from Utah joined us on the tour. 

The van ride to the kayak launch point was about 1 hour, half of which was on a very rocky road!  Beautiful rock formations around the launch point. J paddled in a single boat, P and I paddled in a double. We were all similar abilities in the kayaks, so the group stayed together!  Highlights included seeing seals and paddling through a few small caves. Good thing we had basic kayak skills as the ocean swells were pretty noteworthy and we needed to keep from crashing into the rocks!

After two hours of paddling, we headed back to the launch point and loaded the boats back in the vehicle. After the drive back to Ensenada we stopped at  the Fenex for some great fish tacos. P really liked that the fish was deep fried!

It was a great way to spend the day in Mexico!  Their are vineyards to visit in the area, but that didn't appeal to us. 

J & P went for another workout after we all had a nice long hot tub!  Supper at 5:30, then Movies under the Stars where I watched Mockingjay Part 1.  J was already asleep by 9 pm when I returned to the room!  

Need to finish my blog and get ready for Los Angeles tomorrow. You may notice a number of blogs will get published April 8th because I have had NO success with the ship's wifi.
