Last year Frank attended to Lima Meet Up and he liked it so much that he organized one in his hometown: Puerto Rico! It'd be my 1st time in the Caribbean and couldn't think about a better way to do it than attending to a Meet Up :) Furthermore there would be a Mini Meet Up in Fort Lauderdale. Can't help it :P

A quick stop to take the ferry and visit Old San Juan :)

February 5, 2009

nice view of San Juan across the bay

There were 2 possibilities to go to "Old San Juan", 1st one was driving there and the 2nd one was taking the ferry, which not only gives you a nice view of the bay but also is cheap! So, no needed to think about it again. Just drove to Catano and parked at the ferry station. We got our tickets, better round trip - but at the end we didn't use it :P - and were about sitting to wait when we realized we arrived just on time.

The other ferry arrived and the one to San Juan was ready to leave, how cool! The trip took hardly longer than 10min, haha. It was a short one, super! The ferry wasn't crowded at all. We picked the best seats and enjoyed a great view of the bay in our way to Old San Juan. We couldn't believe how cheap it was, haha. By the time we arrived it was already dark. The lights looked lovely. OMG! The adventure was really starting!!! :)

Going to Old San Juan by ferry

A Low Cost and quick Ride to San Juan - Cataño Ferry

When we were in Puerto Rico we were staying in Levittown and wanted to visit Old San Juan, sure we could drive over there, but there was a more interesting and fun option: The Cataño Ferry.

This one crosses the bay from Cataño to Old San Juan. It's a quick 8-minute ride, and it runs in one direction or the other direction every 15-30 minutes. You can see the old city wall, San Juan gate and El Morro in the distance. We were there during the sunset and the views were amazing!

It's a great way to reach Old San Juan. You can forget about the traffic and park your car near the Ferry terminal. I recommend you to buy a round-trip ticket (just US$ 1) and enjoy your visit to Old San Juan.
