| Mister X |
Ho
ho ho here comes Santa. If you live on a sail boat Santa arrives in
a rubber boat with an outboard to deliver his gifts accompanied by
his helper Manuela.

and Manuela of Mr X came to us for Christmas lunch. A beautiful
sunny day I'd hung one sarong from the bimini to shield the sun and
used another as a table cloth. A cruiser can never have too many
sarongs.

| Christmas lunch |
Lunch
began with a glass of chilled champagne. Then there was more
champagne and smoked salmon and prawns. More champagne and roast
duck, dauphinoise potatoes and broccoli. A rest to digest as the sun
waned in to late afternoon and then panetone cake with English
custard. Coffee and more chatting took us into evening until it was
time to go out.
Christmas
evening is party time in Cartagena – families are out eating and
shopping. Yes, shops are open. Everything is open. We sat at one of
the outside tables at the Cuban club watching the world walk past.
Strolling
home close to midnight we decided this had been a wonderful
Christmas. Six months ago we chose this was where we wanted to be.
We came and it hasn't been a disappointment.
