After New Orleans, Costa Maya is our first stop in the Caribeans. Nice little island with not much to do except lay in the sun and relax…

Aruba, or the most beautiful beach I have ever seen. White warm sand, turquoise waters, palm trees… it’s a calendar perfect place!

After duty - enjoying the sunset on the Atlantic Ocean from deck 14!

My collegue Ferhat took this photo of me, that also shows one of the docks we were crossing in the background!

I was on duty all day during the Panama Canal crossing, taking photos of people instead of what was going on with the ship! So I don’t have many landscape photos to show. This one was taken in the morning, before entering the Canal. Bye Bye Pacific Ocean!

A little bird went flying into the ship and Vincent caught it - I took the picture just before he went out to release the poor little thing into the wild!

I forgot to mention about this port, very nice as well, which we reached after Acapulco and before Puntaneras: Zihuatanero.

Fish market on the beach… Fish doesn’t get any fresher than that!

Here is the tourist trap… but isn’t everything on this display beautiful? I wanted to grab everything! But when your cabin is so tiny, it’s simply impossible. (PS - in fact this photo is taken by a friend, and it’s me on the picture! With some very lovely braids which I only got to keep for a day, as it is against company policy to have braided hair!)

A Pelican driven boat!

And into town… very poor town… some lovely colors as well as political messages!

The Sun is docked…

Pelicans

Beautiful weather on the Mexican port on Sunday… it feels like I am on a holiday now even though I only have a few hours off !!!

How far from home…
