Day Four
Hey guys as promised, here is the break down for part two of my trip to Puerto Rico! So we checked out of our Airbnb and made our way to Guánica. Guánica is town in southern Puerto Rico, and about two hours drive from San Juan. Driving to Guanica brought back memories of my childhood in Liberia when my father and I used to take trips to Kakata; a city in Liberia. It was also just pouring down rain so that made the drive even more intense. Two hours later we arrived to our destination...Copamarina Beach Resort. Giant palm trees, clear skies, and a warm breeze. The scenery of the resort was breathtaking. After we checked in we went to the bar for cocktails; I also had my first coconut on the island. It was well worth it. Later, we relaxed on the beach and decided to do dinner near the ocean.
Day Five
Day 5 and ya girl is a quarter-century! I started my day with a delicious breakfast. Afterwards we did some water activities (we went kayaking). I was so scared because it was my second time kayaking, my first experience was not so great. Kayaking is pretty simple once you get the hang of it. Most people kayak to the closest island next to the resort to go fishing and snorkeling but I was too afraid and we missed the last boat tour to the island. After a day full of activities, it was time to relax in the hot tub! Nothing feels better than sitting in a warm water and talking about life. Hot tubs are really meant to calm you and put you to sleep because I was exhausted! I was too tired to get out of bed to get cute. While laying in bed, We heard a knock on the door. It was one of the waitresses with a cute chocolate cake with ice cream dessert with a little candle to top it off. On the plate, it said “Happy B-day.” It’s the little things that count sometimes; I felt so special and appreciated. So yeah guys I spent my the night of my birthday eating chocolate cake and ice cream while watching Netflix.
Day Six
It’s our last day in Puerto Rico and we had planned to visit El Yunque National Forest but due to a flash flood watch on the island we decided it wouldn’t be a good idea. We checked out of the resort and made our way to Ponce. Ponce is about 40 minutes away from our resorts. We visited Museo Castillo Serralles. We didn’t explore the area for too long because we were trying to beat rush hour to head back to San Juan. We made it to San Juan right before the busy traffic. We had to make one last stop to Fatty’s to see our guy Tony! Sadly Tony wasn’t at work that day. We checked out a few bars. At this point I wasn’t keeping track of places names just more so trying to soak everything in since we only had a few hours before we head to the airport. We spent our last hour in old San Juan sitting in Pigeon park to watch the calmness of the city.
That’s the end of my memorable week in Puerto Rico y’all! I will be visiting again. By the way the car rental company we used was Charlie Rental. They have multiple office locations on the island and they are pretty affordable.
