Isla Palomino

Is this paradise or what? By lunch the kids had already been snorkeling three times and taken several dips in between. Palomino is an island owned by a hotel in Fajardo so every hour or so a boat brings hotel guests and other paying visitors over from the big island. This means that they have toilets!!!, showers!!!, a bar!!! and a restaurant. However we mainly stayed in and around the boat the get used to the new routines and swimming as much as possible.

Joel and Noah can be very creative when it comes to playing. They used the dingy attachment device when they jumped in the water. In combination with an arch bomb it makes for quite a splash when they come into the water.
A new concept was also introduced to us: salsa boats. This means that large speakers are installed on a motorboat and that in order to be heard one needs to speak very load. 
This does not end when the sun goes down when all other boaters go to bed and could go on throughout the whole night. Since Palomino is a very short boat ride from Fajardo, we experienced quite a few of those boats. Ria has prepared us for that if we spend the weekend in Culebra we will experience the ultimate salsa boat night.
