Our first port of call is Cabo San Lucas, our number one favorite of all the Mexican Riviera. In Cabo the port is too shallow for the ship to enter so they use smaller boats, called tenders, to shuttle you in to port. Norwegian had us queue up at 8:45 a.m. to get tickets to the tender boats. They called out groups in an orderly fashion to avoid chaos with everyone wanting to go ashore at once. After reaching shore and clearing security you are greeted by hordes of vendors who try to sell you tours and boat rides. The ship offered a number of excursions, but we choose to wander on our own and explore the possibilities. There were tons of great shopping and restaurants right at the port. We decided to take a tour of the area on one of the many glass bottom boats ($20 plus $6 in tips.) We motored past Lover's Beach, Divorce Beach and the Arch. Our boat captain got us up close to sea lions and pelicans. I was surprised when I heard our captain say Scooby Do. Sure enough there was a rock formation that resembled Scooby!

After our tour We elected to be dropped off at Medano Beach where there are many resorts and hotels with umbrellas and restaurants. We had heard good things about The Office on the Beach. This is a great spot with tables and umbrellas and some seriously good people watching.We had calamari that came with two tasty salsas. The waiter offered us what he jokingly called American Salsa; it was ketchup. We also had pico de gallo and guacamole; large portions and absolutely fresh. I almost forgot, they make some large, strong and wonderful margaritas. Musicians stroll by the tables and sing. What a wonderful time on the beach and in all honesty you could say, "I was at the office!"
