Riding around Isla Murejes

We set the alarm early so we could watch the sunrise over the ocean. It was truly beautiful! We had some breakfast before heading into the main part of the island. It was a 4km walk along the roads, beach paths and sand. We made it to Playa North beach and had a swim in the beautiful warm turquoise water. We had breakfast at a beach bar where the views were stunning, but the pancakes weren’t. We found a nice spot on the sand and relaxed in the sunshine. Once it got too hot we headed inland and found some Coco Frios. Delicious! We then checked out a few dive shops and had another drink where all the boats came in. There were many groups of young kids on boats coming in from tours. We then booked into diving for the next day and hired some bikes. We went to the beach for a bit more sun baking. It was much busier than in the morning with lots of little boats competing by blasting their music the loudest. We headed off on our bikes (one of which was terrible) and rode part of the way down the island before stopping for a drink at the Soppy Peso. It seemed good but once inside was full of drunk Americans. We had a terrible cheesy nachos and some beers before escaping on our bikes. We rode to the end point of the island Punta Sur which has a giant gecko and sculpture park that you had to pay to get in. It was all a bit degraded so we didn’t go in and instead rode back to our place. We just missed the sunset but had some beers in the pool and watched the sky change to night. After we got ready and went out to the Mango Cafe for some fish tacos...mmm yum! We watched some episodes of the OC before going to bed.Read more
