Cabo day 6 & 7

Day 6

This is our last full day at the resort ;(


After another good breakfast at Don Diego (buffet overlooking the marina) it was off to the pool


The birds and bees were super busy today and I even managed to captured this little hummingbird in action.



Back to the room we found our 2nd towel art piece of the trip


If you noticed this stairs in the past photos looking towards the inner court of the resort, here is a view going down them. 116 beautiful stone steps going from level 7 to 1. Most times we used the elevators but did take a few trips (no pun intended) down them.










Tonight is the white party on the beach as a supper option complete with fireworks, acrobats, contortionists and fire throwers. Great entertainment.


Day 7

last coffee on our deck

We started the day with the UP the stairs challenge.


yes that is the waterfall behind us that I showed from the top in a few pics


There is a lovely waterfall down the hillside too



We made it


We had a refreshment or two at the pool after breakfast before catching the transfer to the airport before noon. The storms delayed the flights some so it was a longer wait. Soon after arriving I remembered a drawer I did not check with my clothes at the hotel! WTH, a call back was lost in communication, will try from home.

At 4 we loaded on our plane bound for the frozen tundra, good bye Cabo!


Today was a tarmac loading after a short hike from the main concourse. On the plus side we got extra leg room seats I was vying to pay $100 for yesterday when checking in and the Wifi cratered. :)


We arrived back in frosty -14 Calgary about 8:30. Got thru customs, to our bags, said goodbye to the Benbows and hustled to the car. Back to the snow packed ranch where Lola was happy to see us then off to show us how busy she has been. Another great adventure comes to a close. Back to snow life tomorrow.

Watch for my tips from our trip post soon.

Cabo day 4 & 5

Day 4


Sheldon's view from his pool chair


open electrical outlets on our beach :) no problem


off on a beach hike to try and get to the arch


view to the east


and to the west (our hotel is back in front of the rocky crop)


now to get around this big boulder


with a break in the waves we set off


and we made it to Divorce Beach, way behind us is the crazy boat pick up to take you to the Arch


but this is as close as we will get.


Time to head back


for some pool time and water exercises.


After supper at the Italian restaurant we stopped for our evening cappuccino at the cafe


Day 5 

Seeing it was a bit breezy we took a walk to town, it is so close to Sandos Finisterra


starting with a walk thru the marina dodging sellers.



First stop was Uno Mas for "the best margarita" in town




Time for another refreshment at Randy's other favorite bar, Happy Ending Cantina


Here you can get 2 beers for $5 USD


money and signs are everywhere



or bonus deal; 2 beers and 2 shots for $6 USD



then back to the resort for pool time



and more rounds of the Dam game





Off to supper at the steak house again, we tried the seafood restaurant (Tortuga) but yet again it was a 45 minute wait. This time my steak was cooked to perfection.
