Our second weekend here we all took a weekend trip up to the town of Placencia.We got on a bus from Punta Goarda around six Saturday morning. The bus ride was about an hour and a half. Then we took a boat taxi to get into the town!
We got to our hotel and out on the beach around eight or eight thirty and it was already sunny and probably close to 100 degrees out!
I put on SPF 50 all over my body! I re-applied about every hour, but still managed to get burned! When we woke up Sunday we had planned to take a snorkeling trip before heading back. The place that was taking us was just a short walk from where we were staying. When we showed up we got our equipment and were all sent to the beach to wait for the boat to pick us up. We were supposed to take off at 9:00 am. We waited around on the beach until almost 11 when a boat finally showed up. We all got in and loaded up our stuff, just to find out they could not get the boat to start up again!
We did not want to get out to this island and be stuck there if the boat didn't start again so we were all pretty worried. After trying to get the boat to start for a half hour they told us another boat would come pick us up. By this time it was close to noon, so we just headed back to Punta Gorda.
