Day 8 – Corinto, Nicaragua

Today’s port was Corinto, Nicaragua. It’s an industrial port, and we moored between a container ship and US Coast Guard ship.

There was nothing to do in or near the port, so we took a tour bus to a city called Leon. In Leon, we went to the central square, and visited the La Asuncion Cathedral near the square. After looking through the inside of the cathedral, we climbed up to its roof for a interesting view of the city.

After the cathedral, we had some time to look through the small markets in the square, then back to the ship. It was a short trip, but it was very enjoyable.

Tonight was another gala night, so we dressed up and went to dinner. The Captain was making a round in the dining room tonight, stopping at every table and chatting with the passengers. We got to talk to him briefly too. (Told him how much we are enjoying our cruise.) I thought it was a very nice touch.

After dinner, we got our pictures taken. Tonight’s entertainment is a juggler. Didn’t sound all that interesting, so we went back to our room to relax. Tomorrow is another port day, and we have to get up early too.
