After Lauren and Oli had to head back to London town, we cheered ourselves up with a final day trip on the island. So we called up big smiley Antonio, our regular taxi man, who gave us a little tour for the day.
We visited La Restinga Lagoon (which means sandbar in Spanish) for a tour of the mangroves. The lagoon is so lush and green compared to the rest of the island; we sped along on our boat cutting through the white mangroves wildlife spotting. The water was so clean and clear, we got to see the famous red starfish, the most amazing little seahorses and some crazy one-clawed crabs!
After our boat trip, we headed over to Playa el Yake, the islands water sports mecca with a very European vibe (it was the first time we'd seen other gringos on the island). We had a bite to eat on the beach and checked out the serious wind and kite surfing action for the afternoon...
