SAN ANDRES COLOMBIA

SAN ANDRES ISLAND, COLOMBIA

This is the view of the reefs off San Andres Island.

I arrived here from Barranquilla, a one-way flight was $80.

My goal was to try to find a way to cross directly to Nicaragua,

preferably to the Corn Islands where I had been two months before.

The Main Beach ion San Andres city.

From here tourists catch watertaxis over to Johnny Cay

Brightly-colored hotel

This is the Hotel Delfines where I stayed for 4 nights.

My own poolside room with A/C, cable TV, breakfast, and dinner was $15 per night.

Fish Lunch at the Fishermans restaurant out by the airport.

Main Beach at Johhny Cay

Walking around Johhny Cay

Sunbathing on Johnny Cay

Its the Carribbean,

Climbing for Coconuts

Shore on Johnny Cay

Interior Coconut Grove of Johnny Cay

This boat would take me to Corn Island but

they wanted $2,000 and would have to go at night,

since the crossing was prohibited.

Morgan's Cave,

La Hoya del Splendor is a natural blowhole in the reef at the south end of the island.

Under certain tide and wave conditions it spews water out the opening.
