The last Mexican port on our cruise is Cabo San Lucas. In my perception, it is the most beautiful of all our stops. Long strands of white beaches, brilliant blue water and sculpted rock formations signal your arrival.
Carnival Elation Cabo San Lucas
The cruise ships anchor out because the harbor is shallow. Small boats shuttle you to the port where you are greeted by a gauntlet of town's people vying for your tourist dollar. There are glass bottom boat rides, sport fishing and resorts to be visited. We choose to hang out in the port area and do what we laugh at tourists for back home: have our pictures taken with the locals!
We buy some souvenirs, hang out in a port side restaurant and play my favorite sport, people watching. On our last visit to Cabo, we purchased a hand painted ceramic tile depicting our ship, the Carnival Pride. We locate the vendor this time and he makes us a new tile of the Norwegian Sun to add to our collection. The view, the sunshine, and the margaritas make this wonderful day. Two more days to motor back to reality.
