Puerto Rico

A Baby Pelican!

Monday we waved goodbye & Fair Winds to Melvin and her crew.
Wednesday we hired a car from Sydney again and drove up into the mountains.  The roads were hairpin bends with large lorries coming from the other direction on our side of the road.  Our first stop was at a food stand for brunch then onto the Caguana Indian Ceremonial grounds.

Ancient Petroglyphs
  We were told about the ancient ball or ‘Batey’ parks by the on site historian. Around the ballparks there were many stones with petroglyphs painted on them This really ought to be a WH Site !

 Next stop some equally—if even older – Rio Camay limestone cave Park at the top of a mountain range.  These felt far older than any which we have visited in South Africa (Cango) or New Zealand (Waitimo).


On the trip home we detoured to visit ’Cascada Les Gerzas’ some waterfalls and pools.  Finally back to the anchorage for a welcome meal at the marina restaurant.
