Today we rented a private boat and traveled to the islands around Cartagena. We started off snorkeling at a private island where only Kevin and Georgie saw fish and the rest of us just floated around enjoying the sun and warm air. Then we headed off to Playa Blanca, one of the most beautiful beaches, with clear blue water. We spent some time in the water and met many locals selling us everything from lobster to necklaces. After we left that island we went to Playa Rosario, had lunch and spend the rest of our day frolicking in the water. At Playa Rosario we drank from coconuts, ate whole fish and had a wonderful time talking and laying out in the sun. Sine I know our parents are reading this I just want to let them know we have only had minor sun burns and have been using sunscreen diligently. After the last island we took the bumpy ride back to our port. Now back at the hotel I have caught up on our trip blog and am getting ready for dinner at the Cevicheria, another local must do. I will let you all know how it goes, hopefully tomorrow. However tomorrow we are doing the mud volcano which was on my must see list and the Chiva bus at night so it might take we a couple day to recover.
In response to our commenters - we are having a great time and my parents are usually right about everything. Also we have seen a burger king but haven't gone in yet, maybe if I am feeling withdrawals from my crown I will find one and ask for the royal treatment!!

On our way to the island, Jenn thought my swimsuit matched the water
Wow the pictures of the water and beach makes me think maybe i should switch from Hawaii to these locations. Now you have seen both does it look like a good change?
