We were in port at Puntarenas, Costa Rica when we woke up.    Our excursion was planned for the afternoon so we walked into town during the morning.   Stopped by a local cafe for some coffee. Coffee was made at the table in a pour over process. Right into the cup!   Walked by a Catholic church. Mosaics and Murals throughout the town Rock and Roll Burgers   Our excursion was to an   Andalusian Horse Show at  Rancho San Miguel.   This was a 5 year boy showing and riding his horse. The sun was setting as we were driving back to the dock. We were the last tour bus to get back to the ship. We were right on time Soon after we were back in our room, we were pulling away from the pier. Originally we were going to stop in Nicaragua but that stop was cancelled. So we will have two at sea days before the first stop in Mexico.

Day 51: Torres Strait

   We exited the Great Barrier Reef areas and passed through the Torres Strait between Australia and New Guinea on our way to Darwin  In the morning we still had the great colors in the water that we have seen as we past slowly through the Great Barrier Reef. As we moved through the morning, the Captain came on the loudspeakers to give an update on our travels and mentioned that we would see Hammond Rock as we were going through Torres Strait. So everyone was out on the decks to see this as most of us had never heard of it.   Hammond Rock So after we saw it, did a little search. Seems like from a maritime/mapping perspective Hammond Rock and Torres Strait are synonymous. Also from a geological view, it is very interesting (north end of the Reef and tjhe rock was described as looking like a mushroom under the water and will eventually break off) We had a lot of clouds/rain come in and out during the day  Toni, along with her regular craft class, tried waterc...
