San Andres impresses me more every day. Yesterday a torrencial rain was falling for about 20 minutes and it flooded all the main streets. About 15 minutes later the roads were dry again.
The official language is Spanish but you can quickly figure out that the native islanders actually speak English, or some sort of English language. There are several Baptist churches, each one has one of those yellow school buses. One could quickly derive a division of the island between the native baptist guys and the catholic, Colombian colonizers.
The island signature drink is the CocoLoco (Crazy Coconut) made with Rum and coconut water.
Today the chore of the day was to do a bike tour by the island. Bike rental costs about 25000 per day. You can also rent golf cart for about 100000 COP.
I'd say bike is better as you pay less and exercise more :)
It took only 4 hours on slow speed to circle the island, it's really tiny. With the possibility of repeating myself too much, I have to once again say the views are extremely amazing.
