Puerto Rico - Day 12: May 9th

Our last morning on the island of Culebra, and the return to the mainland of Puerto Rico. Both islands, Vieques and Culebra provided a lot of relaxation, and fun for us. It really was worth it to visit them. But now, it was time to get back on the ferry for our last hour and a half ride to Fajardo, Puerto Rico. From Fajardo, we took a cab and headed back towards Isla Verde and checked in to the Coqui Inn. This would turn out to be the last hotel we would stay in on our trip, and the last area of Puerto Rico we would visit. The plan, is to check into the hotel and take some of their tours to the areas around Puerto Rico such as Ponce, and Aricebo to visit the Camuy Cave System and Aricebo Observatory. This never happened. Apparently, there was some sort of accident at the caves, so all tours had been shut down for the time being, and of course, the Aricebo Observatory was on the same tour as the Camuy Caves. The two things we looked forward to seeing the most on the trip, we would never see.
