San Andres - Day 2

Booked a full day excursion checking out a few small, nearby islands. Didn't realize there would be zero English and *lots* of instructions. Luckily we were sitting next to colombians Brian and Felipe who sensed our confusion and inserted themselves as translators and chaperones for the rest of the day.

Landed first at Johnny Caye, a small palm tree'd island with incredible beaches and turquoise waters. And a huge colony of iguanas. Had a BBQ lunch here and a couple hours to enjoy the beaches and it's postcard views.

Second stop was at Haynes Caye, a natural aquarium with several reefs teaming with exotic fish. Spent a couple more hours here snorkeling the reefs and enjoying a few beers in between.

Third stop was in middle of open water/ocean but very shallow. Our guide dove in and within minutes had corralled a stingray for us. I jumped in and held it a few times before we sped off to visit some mangroves and then eventually motor back to San Andres.

Finished the day at a seaside restaurant and an early night because our ferry to Providencia was early in the morning. We were told the ride there is in extremely rough waters and everyone throws up during the three hour voyage so we bought some dramamine in hopes it would help. Will be honest, anxiety about the next day's boat ride was fairly high. -SPRead more
