1/17 MAGIC day 4 Cozumel

[BAKAROMA]

We woke, ordered room service, and ate. Once again we planned to disembark ASAP. We waited on deck one for about five to ten minutes. We started down earlier as we heard the Mickey horn sound and thought that meant all ashore. A CM told us it didn't so I am not sure why they sounded it as we had been docked for some time when they sounded it. Anyway we were off. The city was busy as there were several ships in port. We made our way across the street and walked by places asking way too much for there wears. There is a plaza with a large flag pole (no flag) in front of it. We were headed to Sally's Mini-golf. We turned right and went three more blocks and in front of us was a beautiful greeen oasis. We walked up the steps and I introduced myself as Sally had exchanged a lot of info with me. We ordered drinks. It was only a little before 11:00, but VERY warm. Golf was fun, but as always our kids as young as they are have there mini-golf mini-meltdowns. I am the golfer in the family so take it all a bit more seriously. Here's the remarkeable deal EVERYONE in our family except me got a hole in one on the course which is difficult. My dd 8 got THREE!. We asked SAlly the best place close to pick up a couple of items. She directed us down the street. Off to deal. The girls bought hand made monicored bracelets. Then they bought guitars. We bought some vanilla $4 for 10 or 12 oz. I waited with Robyn for her bracelet to be finished while the others headed for the ship. Somehow leaving sometime after them Robyn and I beat them back to our room. We ate a quick lunch at Plutos and Topsiders. BArb was freaking because she was sure the clouds were building and her sun would soon be gone. We headed off ship to grab a cab for Paradise Beach. It was a longer trip than I had guessed. We arrived to a well manicured facility. All was well and the kids enjoyed the water toys. I took them all over from the water tramp, to the iceberg, and to the beach in the sea kayaks. They had fun while mom was in the sun. We stayed about four hours. We actually never wanted for food or drink and ordered nothing while I was there. I felt kind of bad and almost just left some money for them. We hustled home and got dinner at Parrot Cay where they had a little show. I think that was the night for magic tricks from our servers, they were good. We checked the kids into club and went back ashore to do a little more shopping. I saw some shells that were a good deal that I wanted to buy as gifts for friends. They were closed! We bought some items for family and headed home. The kids didn't want to leave the clubs so we let them stay awhile then picked them up and went to bed.
