Finally we arrived at the Caribbean, and the very familiar Latino and indigenous cultures were now coloured with a vivid Caribbean hue. A new experience of Latin America for both Esteban and me. We whiled away the days on the beach, relaxing in the beautiful gardens of our hostel, watching the iguanas, geckos, beautiful tropical birds and butterflies go about their business. We also visited Fort San Fernando, built by the Spaniards in 1759 to protect their cargo boats laden with silver from the British pirates.

Here are the photos.
