Sunset Boat Tour

 Today is the final tour organized by Puerta Azul, it is a sunset boat tour for later this afternoon.

Started the day after breakfast with another snorkel from the dock, never will we get tired of this.  This is one of the main reason we choose Puerta Azul.  The rain that has been forecast every day started while we were out snorkeling, time for us to swim back in and get more wet lol

This afternoon we are off on our sunset boat tour, the skies have cleared somewhat.   Because Edwin wants us to have the sun in our faces on the way back we basically do the exact same boat ride as we did on our 2 stop snorkel tour the other day.  This is a little disappointing as we have seen pretty much everything already and the sunset was not fantastic, though at a much slower pace today than our snorkel tour boat ride earlier in the week.  It was still fun being on the boat again.  

Amazing hot sauce provided on the tables at Puerta Azul.  Too big for carry on suitcases, will need to look online to see if you can order it

They have their famous logo everywhere

Todays breakfast, shocking sides, cantaloupe and watermelon again
