As soon as Insignia docked, we went out. We were met with a orchestra playing. Nice touch!
We have been in Acapulco in 2017 and at that time had a tour and seen cliff divers.
So today is an easy day on the beach.
First thing we had to do is find ATM and get some pesos.
It took us 15 minutes to walk to ATM. It was inside very nice store. On the way there, local guy by the name Raul started to walk next to us and asked us to go to his store. We told him we do not need anything, but he continue walking and talking. We got to the store and tried to lose him, but could not. By now he got a control of a wheelchair and Boris. The store, more like a market with a lot of trinkets was couple blocks from the ATM. We spent two minutes in the market and our “new friend Raul” pushed the wheelchair with Boris to the beach. We told him goodbye, gave him a tip and continue to the beach.
Now on the beach, we rented umbrella and chairs and settled.
I went swimming few times, but Boris was comfortable in the shade.
Later, a group of 6 people rented a table with chairs next to us and we realised it is our cru from the ship.
We had a nice conversation with them, but it was getting hot so we decided to go back on the ship.
After lunch we parked ourself on the deck by the pool to enjoy outside and sea water pool. Also to wait for Mariachi band to perform and what a performance it was! The group of six players and singers and six dancers, gave us very good performances. The group performed together for the last 30 years in 19 countries. And we had a front row seats to this wonderful show.
It is now time to take shower and dinner. Tomorrow will be a sea day.Read more
