Today was an amazing day. We did what I think is the typical Carribbean thing to do...we went to an amazing crystal clear water perfect sand beach. and we snorkelled off another beach and swam with sea turtles, sting raysn fish, and saw lots of coral. it was incredible to see.

The beach we went to is called Flamenco Beach. It is regularly rated one of the top 5 beaches in the WORLD to go to. So basically, it is going to be extremely hard for me to find a better beach without some extensive travelling. It was huge, not overcrowded, had loads of people renting lounge chairs and umbrellas for $5 each AND they set them up for you, and the water was just perfect. Had waves to play in and boogie board on ( rentals were available for everything beach related), or if you swam out a little you you swim/float in relative peace. GORGEOUS!

The ferry we took to get here was nice, but the line to get tickets was ridiculous. They haven't automated anything, and the tickets, for the most part, are relatively simple to get, and yet the line took so long to move...There is no option to purchase them online, nor is there a kiosk to purchase them with a credit card. You must purchase them from the ticket office.

However frustrating it was to get the tickets, the ride and boat were amazing. And the best part was on the way back to the main island...we watched pirates of the Carribbean. While we were boating on the Carribbean. :)

And there you have it. Now to treat this blasted sunburn!!
