So many cruiseships

Puerto Rico - 9 Days



We spent 9 days on the island of Puerto Rico, it’s a part of the U.S.A but I consider it a country and chose to eat corn flakes there aswell.
We arrived in San Juan and used the first day to check it out, the main point of interest was the number of cruiseships delivering tourists to the city.

We hired a car for a week and drove to the Arecibo Observatory, the World's Largest and most Sensitive Radiotelescope where they shot ‘Goldeneye’ and then we continued on and stayed in the beach town of Aguadilla.
We spent the next day driving over the mountains/hills passing the Bosque Estatal de Maricao and ended up near La Parguera to sleep and take a little boat trip at night to see some fluorescent algae in the Caribbean. There were mangos everywhere, we kept stopping the car to pick the juiciest mangos up off the floor.
Next day we drove along the south coast stopping at the beach to chill and eat coconuts, and then we drove some more and planted ourselves in the town of Luquillo. Here we stayed for 5 days just chilling on the
