Hangin'

Said lots of good-byes at breakfast today. Our Canadian friends were leaving for Tayrona along with several other people who boarded the 9 am boat back to the mainland. Tomorrow will be our turn but not just yet!

Found out there was an actual free boat tour of the neighboring area starting at 10am. Didn't have much else to do, so we donned life jackets and hopped in the boat. Fortunately, there was a young woman with us from Colombia but also spoke some English. She helped translate from our boat guide. The tour turned out to be pretty interesting. There are several hostels that just sit right there in the middle of the water. One of the homes is owned by  some famous Latin pop star. Other private homes are owned by some pretty wealthy folks. It is very expensive to keep a home out here. We cruised by Santa Cruz and back over to Isla Mucura, passing the public beach and fishing village that we visited on our bike ride. Also got a glimpse of the other two resorts from the ocean view. Ours is by far the nicest.


Back at the dock by 11. Not much to do today but hang out.  Moved from various spots of relaxation throughout the afternoon and wound up back on the beach. Chatted with a lovely young couple from Edinburgh. And then it was happy hour again!! Had a cocktail and then back to the room to pack. It is a bit breezier today than it has been.  I hope the it calms down for the two hour boat ride tomorrow.

Well, I'm off to my 7pm massage appointment. A great way to end a great stay at our lovely retreat. I have to say that although we are sorry to leave, it really is time. We are looking forward to exploring Cartagena. 

Next time.... Leaving Paradise
