Today we were here from 5 am to 9 pm. So we picked up our Harbour Pilot around 4 am this morning and we were docked by 5 am. Little history on Manta it is the largest city in Manabà Province. It has a pop of around 220,000. Currency here is the good old USD. Fishing especially for Tuna and that's is followed by Tourism. We are on a tour today. We are going to Montecrisite where the Panama Hats are made. The we are doing a button factory made from these nuts that are found here. They look a lot like ivory. We now have 8 sea days to enjoy everything from knitting to sunbathing, classes on the computer, Lectures from up coming ports. stay tuned for pictures... Will be posting a lot on Face Book as well.
