Puerto Chiapas, Mexico, Day 14


The Chiapas area offers those looking for a close contact with mystic and natural world, the door to a magical place with wonderful regional tours enjoying unequalled natural beauties, alternative tourism, ecotourism and archaeology…………
Stop everything the gun boats are out patrolling around the ship again and there are armed guards on the pier. Are we being protected?????? Or are they looking for drugs again?????
Well the mystery remains unsolved and we did not make it far today. As this is the third port in 3 days we went for a walk to the port buildings where we found a wealth of tourist information on the area, local entertainment of dancers and musicians, and sold handicrafts which were unusually colourful and quite different from the Mexico experienced so far. We then retired to the local tavern and sipped some more Corona which are quite a bit cheaper than the ones the sell on the ship and enjoyed a very war afternoon ashore.
