Sandy San Juan

I wanted to go to a beach. That was all. Then, i booked tickets to San Juan, Puerto Rico.


Carribean, Atlantic .... you know.. i don't care when i chilled out and relaxed on the white sandy beach and the clear blue ocean. Standing under the warm sun and feeling the waves rushing towards me, i closed my eyes and praised the heavens for a beautiful day.



Old Town







And of course, history has always interested me, The Forts of Old San Juan - the oldest ports in the region & a UNESCO protected site,







And the highlight of my trip, sadly not photographed, was a kayating tour into the bio-luminescent lagoon. As we kayat in the dark, the water glowed around us with each paddle. It was beautiful, as the water glowed around my finger tips and flowed down my arm.  Island Kayating :)  The guides patiently explained to us that it was a chemical reaction from the micro organisms that fed on the tree roots in the mangrove swamp. We saw the roots glowing faintly under the water.

All in all, a beautiful and relaxing trip.
