Off the ship earlier today, at 7:30, because we leave mid-afternoon for a longer than usual sail to get to Grand Turks at a reasonable hour (noon) tomorrow.
Once clear of all the taxi-sharks at the port, we had a perfectly lovely walk to the north along the old fortified city walls through the old City Gate, whose massive doors were built in 1634, to Castillo San Felipe del Morro.
The settlers here truly knew how to build formidable fortresses.
Leaving Morro, we happened upon what we suspect was the world’s largest craft show. Had to be at least a thousand vendors in 10×10 booths, selling every imaginable craft, and nothing we’d consider imported junk. This clearly was a big draw for residents, not just tourists.
We found Old San Juan to be absolutely charming. Loud salsa music playing everywhere, very colorful, very clean.
Back on ship, sailing by 4:00, dinner, and in for the night.
