Friday morning we woke up in Ensenada. I exercised on the track on the upper deck and we were still cruising so we really did follow the schedule of not getting into port until around 8am. After breakfast we got off the ship and got on a shuttle to downtown to get our tour lined up. The excursions that the cruise offered were kind of lame. Not too many things that the kids could do. So I did some research and found a highly recommended zip line place. Everyone else liked the idea. I do think my kids were the most excited. They are normally too small to go (well, just Dylan is too small).
Here are James and Shannon. Robert and Sarah stayed on the ship that day. They missed out big time because it was awesome.
Me and my folks. My dad found a deal with transportation that also included a stop to La Bufadora. Why not. Aaron and I had done La Bufadora before and enjoyed it, but didn't want that to be our only thing we did in Ensenada.
This is a picture of the place. Las Canadas. Look it up if you go to Ensenada..you won't regret it. For about $20 a person you get 5 zips and 5 hanging bridges. These are awesome zip lines too....some are really long...so long that you have to do tandem to make sure you get all the way across. Dylan had to go tandem with me on all the zips because he didn't weigh quit enough. But it was totally fine. We all really really enjoyed it. It took about an hour.
Dylan tells everyone 2 things about the cruise: the zip line and the fact that he could eat so much ice cream.
Aaron and I did a zip line in Austin last fall. It was fun, but we enjoyed the one in Mexico a lot more and it was soooo much cheaper and way cooler.
This is La Bufadora. It is a blowhole. It is pretty fascinating.
It is a far drop.
The water comes up really high.
After that we headed back to the ship and found another towel creation. The boys each got a small guitar, I got a really pretty bowl and Aaron got a backpack with BYU on it. All these were small enough to fit in our luggage to make it back to Texas.
We ate dinner and bumble bee came through. They were promoting the new Transformers movie. The boys went and played some games and earned some transformer toys.
