We had a relaxed breakfast and meandered off the boat. We didn't have much of a plan. Jia wanted to learn about bean to bar chocolate. We took a taxi, all 7 of us plus the chair on top for a one hour city tour $40 total. Our guy was fabulous. The tour was fun and informative and air conditioned. He dropped us at Cacoa Magico. There were no spots available for making bars so we did the museum and left. The bars were silly pricey so we didn't bother. All dark chocolate so most of us wouldn't have liked it.
We did the gallery area beside the romantic area and then the market area and Malcone area. We did some fun shopping and had lunch. Tacos, nachos and strawberry margaritas.
Kai bought a t-shirt and motorcycle that the guy selling says he made himself. I
doubt it. Kai loves it and zoomed it around the table while we waited for lunch. I talked
Luk into buying a $5 t-shirt. He's
grumpy, still not feeling right and he hates being hot. He does like his shirt now that we're back on the boat. Lili got a rock turtle and sun glasses. Ray Bans for $15 ;) Fei got sunglasses too. Jia picked out a couple beaded bracelets and a couple necklaces. Eric couldn't be talked into anything.
It didn't feel too warm by the ocean. We saw the guys fly off the pole. Pelicans diving into the ocean. A guy balancing rocks. Lots of artists making their crafts. Cute little kids every where. Coconuts being cut. The vendors were all so fun. We didn't
barter much. Just enough to have fun.
The port usually gets 2 ships in. Today was 3. We were told it was busier than usual. Our guy tried to get us on an atv tour but there was no space. Then Eric asked about
The volcano tour. It was full too. I didn't
know volcano viewing was even an option.
We're back on board. Eric is suffering indigestion and Luk isn't interested in eating yet so it's Kai and I again.
I have no idea what the girls all have planned for their evenings.
I have a wicked blister and cankels so it will be an early night for me. I bought
sandals in the port that I know aren't going to work long term but they will relieve the blister. So much walking. Such a big boat.
