D & J

Once on the island we went to the second beach and found a nice spot for some chairs. There are locals there that want to get them for you and clean them off for a small tip so bring a couple singles. We weren’t sure if a floatation device was required to snorkel so we played to safe and rented a couple vests. They also have masks and tubes there if you don’t mind renting that kind of stuff and you can put it all on your card from the ship. We saw all kinds of fish and even some squid! Also on this beach you can snorkel over by the rocks on the right and you find some small shells for souvenirs. The earlier you go, the better the selection.

We then headed over to the flea market, which was filled with locals desperate to sell you something. It looked like each vendor had a row of stuff to sell and was pretty much the same stuff the other vendors had. Justina took a liking to a tin sun cutout that a vendor was asking $25 for. We got her down to $12. If you don’t care to barter my advice is to steer clear of vendors outside of the red building and the building itself and go to the building in back. It was more like a regular shop without the pushy salespeople.

We then headed for the buffet that the ship had brought ashore for lunch. This food was primarily the same as the stuff on the ship with BBQ ribs and chicken. After lunch we relaxed on the beach and snorkeled some more. We had left our gear on our chairs as we had made a “You watch our stuff we’ll watch yours” deal with the people next to us. Then back to the boat to relax and get ready for dinner.
