Puerto Rico Cruise

Flew into San Juan, Puerto Rico to start a 7-day Southern Caribbean cruise onboard the Rhapsody of the Seas. Left out after dark and passed by Castillo San Felipe del Morro. First stop was at Frederiksted, St Croix, US Virgin Islands. Went for a cultural walk around town. And then on to the ABC islands. On Aruba I went to the Natural Bridge, the old mining ruins, and the California Lighthouse. Onto Bonaire the next day where I saw flamingoes, donkeys, and a Warawara bird. Stopped for a beach break and saw stacks of conch shells left as a reminder that they were almost eaten to extinction and are now protected. No tour in Curacao, just enjoyed walking around and relaxing. The cruise ship returned to San Juan where we stayed a few extra days to tour the area. Tropical Storm Ernesto paid a visit but we were able to fly out on schedule.
