Mexican Riviera Cruise Photo-journal, Part III

As I promised: the last of the photos. This is a three part series, showing photos of our Mexican Riviera cruise aboard Holland America's Oosterdam. Part III shows us whale watching is Puerto Vallarta, and our last days at sea, on the way home to San Diego.


In Puerto Vallata, we took a little boat out to sea to go whale watching. It was surprising how many whales we saw. Here are two tails up in the air.


The whales were so close, you could almost reach out and touch them.


This picture show me on our little boat, looking for whales.


This whale tail was so close, you could see the barnacles on it. In the background, you can barely make out Puerto Vallarta. We were pretty far out to sea.


The next day was a sea day. That night, we dressed up and went to the "Pinnacle Grill," the on board premium restaurant, basically a steakhouse. We celebrated my 40th birthday.


The last night, at dinner, the wait staff put on a show as we wore chef's hats. Here is Julie with her chef hat on.


Here are both of us with our chef's hats on. Mine did not fit very well, and kept falling off. Oh well.

That is about it. Next time, it is back to brewing posts.

That's great!! I went on a whale watching tour many many years ago and we didn't see anything but sea water. As a result I sort of thought of whale watching tours as a big scam. I'm glad you saw so many.
