Last night, around midnight, we crossed the equator and now have our certificates for same! No ceremony at that hour but by our calculations we should cross 3-4 more times so likely one of those times we'll get to experience the usual shananigans.
Today we missed the shuttle bus into the city centre - it leaves when it's full - ven if that's before it's scheduled time. So we checked from our balcony and it was there - sadly by the time we headed down the gangway it was gone.
So we met Lou and Amy from San Francisco and shared a cab for the day. We went to the Malecon 2000 which is the city's beautifully revitalized waterfront. Lovely gardens, monuments, restaurants and so on. The highlight for us was supposed to be a visit to La Penas, the artists community in the city. The area is beautiful with fully 444 steps to the top of the area, however the galleries are closed on Monday. We had a beer overlooking the waterfront. We also visited a local market - and then returned to the ship.
There's an amazing gondola over the harbour to another island which may visit tomorrow! Deck party tonight so if we manage to stay up that late we'll post photos!
