Island Adventures

We spent a wonderful day in Georgetown today.

It all started at a beachside restaurant called Hammerheads. We shared a few appetizers and a bucket of Bucannero (our new favorite beer from Cuba), which you can't get in the U.S. After lunch, we set our bags down, grabbed our snorkel gear and went snorkeling in the harbor right off the ladder from the restaurant we ate at. We swam out about 100 feet to a shipwreck. It was pretty amazing. The visibility was about 100 feet and you could see all the way to the bottom. Huge tarpon swam by as we were exploring the wreck.

After the shipwreck, we swam over to the reef and were instantly surrounded by hundreds of fish. The beauty of being surrounded by fish that were nearly an inch away from your face was quite the rush. Pictures to come soon! The variety of fish was also unbelievable. The colors were extensive and it was a sight to see.

The next stop on our GT list was Paradise restaurant for a quick Pina Colada, then the water trampoline. Paradise has this huge trampoline over the water that they allow their customers to swim out to and jump on. It's pretty crazy jumping on a trampoline over water and feeling the water splash through the netting at your feet as you're jumping. After quite a bit of jumping time, we all just laid down and sunned for a while in the middle of the harbour!

Lastly, we did a quick walking tour of GT. Made a stop at Margaritaville to swim in their pool and slide down their water slide. It was a good day in GT!
