Mazatlan

Our second port of call was Mazatlan. We were driven to another resort by a very talkative taxi driver named Raphael who wanted to ask Karl questions about the Mormon church the entire half hour cab ride. Raphael was a really nice guy. Mazatlan is located along what they call in Mexico the Golden Coast. Mazatlan also has what is known as the Golden Zone or Zona Dorada, which is a beautiful stretch of beach where most of the resorts and fine restaurants are located. In Mazatlan we visit the Golden Zone and spend the day at a resort called El Cid. This resort was located in the center of the Golden Zone, but we just opted to hang out by the pool. Christian and Karl wanted to go to the beach but it was closed due to an abundance of jellyfish. It was a windy beautiful day. Christian found a shrimp down by the beach. The pool we hung out at had little cliffs you could jump off of, waterfalls and an underground cave system. After the resort, the girls did some shopping while Karl, Christian and Vayden went back to the ship. On the way to the ship Christian got a hat that he now calls his lucky hat.
