CR Day 14 - Isla Tortuga



Today we went to the port city of Puntarenas where we boarded a boat and headed to Tortuga Island to spend the day swimming and sun bathing. The boat company provided a special lunch and the entire day was about relaxing. Some of us got a bit sun burned, even with a lot of sunblock on...the water was clear and Chuck and I put on our googles and watched all the pretty fish swim around the coral. The bottom was rocky and hard to walk on but we had our Tevas and just wore them in the water. Again, the water was surprisingly salty and it was easy to lay back and float around.



Here's a coconut sprouting on the beach...neat!!



This is a "wild" Peckery...this one seems a bit domesticated.
