Saturday

After a crappy night listening to drunken 20 year olds swear and scream until after 1:30 it finally quieted down.

After a wonderful breakfast we decided to head into town. The taxis were very expensive ($15US each way) so we decided to get a gua-gua bus ( these VW style vans travel with side door open and people pile in until no room is available;but they are cheap: about $1 each)
As we walked out of the gated community  to the highway an official tour guide saw us so we hired him to give us a city tour. Julien was great! We hopped on a gua-gua with him and went downtown where he gave us a walking tour. Neat place with a long history (Columbus came here). Afterwards we walked several kilometres to the cable car. For $10 Can we went up the mountain and Julien gave us a tour of the botanical gardens. Extremely pretty. As we were leaving the cable car Julien got us a deal on a taxi ride back to the hotel(about $7 US). We gave Julien about $40Can for his wonderful service and are now at the beach enjoying sunshine! Tonight we are eating at the Caribbean restaurant a la carte. Should be good!
