Hotel Fiesta Real San Carlos

Hi all!
Tony's left and currently in Phoenix,Arizona.
Tomorrow, he sets off on the bus (quite luxurious,even compared to ours!) to Guaymas,which takes approx. 7 hours.
He'll be assessing work to be done and then I'll join him in two weeks.
Arriba,arriba!

We walked to another desk to pay for our cards and then we were on our way. We made it to ...

... tortillas, tamales, banana bread and guacamole in town. Gringo prices but it is worth every penny. Marina San Carlos: Great marina, very safe. Nice people run it. We paid $40.00USD a night for a 60 foot slip. Usually they will say they don't have a slip but if you butter up Francisco with cash one will magically come up. We got the boat washed by two nice guys for around $30.00 USD. Help is abundant and you can always negotiate the prices.

... hot and steamy here. The mosquitoes come out full force in the evening so we have to use our bug screens, which seem to trap the humid heat inside.

And it was particularly hard saying adios to Paul and Dee on Blue Pteron because it seemed we had shared so many adventures, and a few mis-adventures too! And let's face it, in the ...
