The boys kept trying to throw rocks into the hole to see what would happen, it was a fun game! Of course the water then also creates lots of little tide pools in the rocks, where we saw little fish, crabs, snails, etc.
Along our way, we stopped at a place called "The Pirate's Caves" and took a short guided tour including various animals (iguanas, birds, goats, crabs), as well as a cave with lots of bats flying around! We are certainly having a lot of up close and personal experiences with unique animals this trip!
Iguanas like this run around free all over this island!
Whatever this tree is, it is blooming everywhere on this island, so brilliant!
Then we went to "Rum Point" on the east end of the island, where there is a tourist club, shops, restaurants, a pier, and very shallow water with good snorkeling. We had a great lunch there, Daryl had the catch of the day which was Mahi Mahi, and I had the blackened fish sandwich, which was some kind of grouper and was delicious ... see, I can enjoy fish! Even Ben liked the blackened fish! I gave him a bite and he asked for more!
I thought this was a cute sign!
We did some snorkeling there and were able to see a stingray, a 5 ft long eel, squid, and of course lots of tropical fish. Then we moved on to another beach near there called Kaibo beach, famous for starfish. Sure enough we found 3 starfish easily just by walking in the shallow water.
The boys also had a blast playing on the rope swing hung from a tree there!
Then we realized it was a full moon, which was really beautiful, too. Photos did not capture it well enough!
Ben wanted to take some trick photos with the moon, and some of them turned out pretty cool!
I hope some of you are able to see this blog now. Sorry it was such a pain to gain access!
