我打算在Puerto Rico的行程

拿着刚从Amazon买到的Lonely Planet Puerto Rico 2005版, 之前在书店翻了大多数的Puerto Rico Guide Book, 还是觉得关于Puerto Rico的介绍, 这一次是Lonely Planet胜出. 建议去那儿的朋友买一本带着参考.

我实际在Puerto Rico的时间只有两个半天, 主要是多留了些时间给USVI了, 翻了一下书, 也有了个大概的想法, 打算半天时间在Old San Juan, 一天是东面的Caribbean National Forest El Yunque, Punta Santiago, Las Croabas一带, 逆时针绕, 争取晚上在Laguna Grande, 也是一个bioluminescent bay. 另一天会去西面, 地方比较大, 多办会去那个大的天文望远镜 Observatorio de Arecibo, Parque de las Cavernas del Rio Camuy溶洞, Rincon看看大浪, La Parguera 吃吃海鲜什么的, 如果有时间, 会沿着那条曲哩拐弯的路折回San Juan.

当然了, 我最近的行程计划不再象最初菜鸟时候订的那么仔细了, 往往就是这样想一下, 定几个大方向, 然后看着具体行程情况在决定, 因为出去玩不是定计划, 有的地方你喜欢, 可能一天也就呆在那儿了. 当然我们第一次去, 还想多看看, 所以要找到比较平衡的玩法, 总之一切随心情, 再好的计划也赶不上变化不是.

之前提到的Vieques 岛的bioluminescent bay, 权衡再三还是决定这次不去了,因为比较偏, 去一次的成本很高, 而且还要在岛上呆一晚, 时间也有限. 原来打算从St Thomas 飞到Vieques , 然后第二天直飞San Juan回来, 不过恰巧我们回来的前一天是圣诞节, 所以人家的tour也不开, 就算了. 取其次, 决定去Puerto Rico的第二个bioluminescent bay Laguna Grande看看, 虽然不如前一个亮, 不过应该也可以看到的. 还有一个在西南面, 据说由于污染, 效果已经不好了.

可能有时间的话也会专门做个网页汇总我的功课, 不过时间不够的话, 就只好等回来了. 其它想去的朋友有什么打算的,请留言, 大家多说说比较有意思.

有用信息:
1. Day Trips to Culebra and Vieques from Old San Juan! The new Island Fast Ferry goes to Culebra in only 1.5 hours and then continues to Vieques before returning to Old San Juan in the afternoon. A great way to explore the ‘Spanish Virgin Islands’ in just one day!

2. The A-5 Bus runs from Isla Verde to Old San Juan all day to about 9pm (but its best to check when the last bus leaves). The A-5 Bus runs about every 15 minutes and takes about 40 minutes to reach the bus terminal at the edge of Old San Juan. The bus fare is only seventy-five cents (exact change only)! If you plan to stay in Old San Juan later than this, taxis can be found in ‘Plaza Colon’ near the statue of Columbus & the corner of Calle Fortaleza (near Starbucks, Aqua Viva, Dragon Fly). A taxi should cost approximately $20 for the return trip to Isla Verde depending on traffic and time (night surcharge may apply).

3. The ferry to Cataño is only fifty cents each way and will give you an unforgettable view of Old San Juan from the water.
