We disembarked the Aurora and as we started to walk along the pier we were swamped by locals trying to sell tours, cuban cigars, jewellery and toys. Restaurant staff urging us to come in to eat and drink.
All we wanted to do was wander along the marina, enjoy the sights and check out the shops
Now this is an interesting mode of transport for the local Police
check out the helicopter on this boat
mmmmmmm Corona
Some interesting advertising billboards for over the counter medications from local pharmacies
and the pharmacies are also the local bottle shops!!
Enough time was spent wandering around, so we entered a little restaurant "Alexander's" where the staff were extremely friendly and genuinely helpful with all of our silly questions. Our afternoon was spent eating spicy Mexican food, a bucket of coronas for Cliff and Margaritas for myself as we watched the passing crowds
we were serenaded with a Santana song
As we sailed away to our next port of call - we sat on our balcony admiring the rocky landscape
called "Lands End" - Santana playing on our iPod and thought to ourselves - What a great day we've had.
Food looked fantastic. Made me pick up my iphone and start googling holidays in Mexico :)
