Puerto Rico - Day 10: May 7th

Another early morning! Up at five a.m. to catch the ferry back to Fajardo, then on to another ferry at nine a.m. towards the island of Culebra. Leaving the island of Vieques was sad, but we both looked forward to the new island that we would be exploring by the afternoon. The island of Culebra is even smaller than Vieques, but is supposed to have one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Flamenco Beach. The ferry ride was about the same as the ferry to Vieques, right around an hour and a half. As soon as we stepped off the ferry we were greeted by Terrie, one of the owners and operators of the Palmetto Guest House. Usually finding a place to stay for the night can be a bother, but this wasn't the case in Culebra. Our hosts Terrie and Mark Hayward were amazing. They had a wonderful guest house, and would take care of anything for us we were interested in doing. Snorkeling, renting bikes, renting a jeep, talking to us about the local beaches, and picking us up and dropping us back off at the ferry, they did it all. Our first night in Culebra we spent the day relaxing in bed, then stepping out to a local restaurant Dinghy Dock for a dinner right next to the water surrounded by tarpon.
