Vieques Day two

Okay so the day didn't go as planned, but adventure is adventure and we had a great time.

We heard at the last minute that there was a boat was leaving at 1pm to go to Vieques and hear a symphony! So, we scurried around and got our stuff together and made a mad dash to the ferrydock.  

We said good buy to Culebra in the bright beautiful light of day.

    Vieques full steam ahead =>

  

Getting off the boat at 2:00 pm in Vieques was similar to 2:00 pm in Culebra.  The streets were empty. The shops and restaurants were mostly closed.   

After helping ourselves to a  slice of William's Pizza we caught a taxi to the beach. 

This photo below is straight out of the taxi door when we pulled up to the beach.  

NICE!!!  I like this place!

 

Wanting to see the town of Esperanza we had the taxi take us to Sun Bay.  

 Sun Bay was a treat with its calm clear water.

<= Volly Ball nets!  (I've been thinking of renting these at the bike shop.)

Boy, do they have a nice public pier in Esperanza.

Their waterfront dining is mostly from across the street from the water.  But the view and the breeze are nice.

Seating at a makeshift waterfront bar.  Too bad the bar wasn't open! 

We enjoyed the brick walkways and this tiny waterfront village.

As the light was fading we walked on, keeping an eye out for a public (taxi) back to the port town of Isabella Segunda.  

Everyone said to just flag down a taxi, but no taxis showed up. 

The concert we came here to enjoy would be starting soon, and I was eager to listen to the Trio playing their Quatros,  but even with phone numbers to call for a cab, we were not having any luck getting one to answer their phone. 

 The only taxi that answered the phone told us "Two hours."  So there we were waiting on the side of the road, beautiful full moon overhead.

Although there were plenty of restaurants where we were, Ken really wanted to try MR SUSHI that we had seen the earlier in the day.

By the time we made it back to the port, it was very late.

But, Mr. Sushi's was worth the wait.  Nice people and great food that was not too pricey

My back had gone into muscle spasms, so we opted on dinner and missed the festival altogether.   :(

   While walking back to the port, I got a chance to take a photo of Coconuts restaurant where ate the first night.  Very good food here too!
