San Juan, Puerto Rica

All good things must come to an end and with the precision of a well-oiled machine we are all ferried off our floating home and through customs. Charles and Jules are also staying at Il Convento so we share a cab and, as we are too early to check in, the only thing to do is go walking round the city. We are in "Old Town" and it is just beautiful. There has been a big festival here for the past three days so a lot of cleaning up is still happening. Shopping is great and we head straight to "Marshall's"....odd store with quite a mixture of goodies but we do manage to pick up some bargains (along with another two large carry-on bags to replace the smaller ones we have!) GC is panicking about the excess luggage!

We have lunch at a great little restaurant where the "Pina Colada" was invented! More shopping, shirts for GC at RL and a bag for me at Coach.

Finally able to check in at the hotel and I'm now able to 'log on' to the internet, which has been almost impossible at sea. GC is busily trying to make the new acquisitions 'fit' into our bigger bags....

We join C nd J for wine and hor d'oeuvres downstairs and then head into the bar for dinner and drinks.....I'm seriously about to burst!

San Juan is very pretty so I'm off to bed now so that I have enough energy to investigate further tomorrow. x
