Puerto Rico weekend (Sun)

I decide to go snorkeling today as the Caribbean sea is too inviting.



The tour is provided by this company http://www.travelerpr.com/

This website summarize the trip.

I paid extra for transport pickup so that i don't have to drive an hour to the Marina. However, the transport never came for me as they didn't get my cell phone number. So i had to grab a cab last minute to meet the boat. Grrr..
Lesson learned: always call the tour the day before, to confirm your pick up

The other interesting part is free rum and free flow of rum for the entire trip.
It's strange for me, as sun exposure + alcohol is usually a bad combination.
What i realize later, is it's a party boat more than a see-fish expedition for the locals =)
But the water is so pretty that it's still worth going out, but i will probably pick a more reliable tour provider next time.

The Catamaran is huge and had 45 people on board that day. It sailed really fast too as it's very windy

Some crazy structure at the Marina

Water cleared up right after the Marina and stayed pretty =)

Clear waters at the Culebra Island


The ocean species here are very similar to the tropics in South East Asia too.
The first reef has a bed of grass leading to it and that is kind of cool. I also saw a couple of huge sucker fish that looks like baby sharks! They were grabbing the bread that i brought with me to feed the fish.

These are a few meals that I had in PR

Mofongo with fish stew
Peruvian shish kababs & potatos with hollandaise sauce, together with a Tamarind drink
