Ferry ride to Culebra









On New Year's Day (our last busy day with Rick's family) we went to an island off Puerto Rico called Culebra. It was a LONG day, but well worth it! We left home at 6 am and drove 1 hr. to the east coast to a city called Fajardo. From there, we caught a ferry that left a 9 am. The boat ride was and hour long also. It was a little rough, we were all a little queasy! The kids thought it was fun looking out the window at the ocean. Then we got to the island and it was beautiful!!! We weren't sure how to get to a beach once we got to the island. Some people rented cars, but we didn't want to. So we started walking to the beach until we asked someone how far it was. "3 miles." Well, then we found a bus that took us there. ($3 a person each way- what a ripoff!) So we got to the beach and it was so pretty! White sand and clear water-gorgeaus! The snorkeling was awesome too. After a long day of fun, we took the 6 pm ferry back and then drove home and got back at about 8:30. The kids went right to bed!
