Island Tour - Day 2.2

We continued along the coastline, arriving home at dusk. What a tour it was! In addition to all the sightseeing, Marco took me to buy a SIM card at the electronics store; to the airport to purchase our inter-island flight tickets; and to the supermarket which he said was their version of Walmart.
