Isabella Island

Taking a rough high speed boat over to Isabella Island we checked into a cool apartment overlooking a secluded beach. We found a cosy little beach bar where despite fancying a G&T, decided to order something more Southern American in flavour... why not a caipirinha? This resulted in a clueless barmaid making me the most disgusting cocktail ever - a large rum with creme de menthe (no limes or sugar & why minty??!), really gross!

The following morning we hired bikes & followed the trail to the Giant Tortoise Breading Sanctuary where we had another mini photo-shoot with these amazing creatures.

Next stop was the Playa d'Amor - a beautiful beach, perfect for honeymooners wanting a swim... anyway, moving on it was time to bike to the Wall of Tears (built by convicts).

One of the highlights of this island was the snorkelling trip to Las Tintorerras, where we swam inches over seven white tipped reef sharks (yes Mike pooed it!).

Back to the beach next to the apartment & fun was had swimming with some friendly sea lions...
