Mandy's birthday in San Juan

                                                      Happy Birthday Mandy.


Sailing into Puerto Rico, the first sight of land is a breathtaking panorama that emerges from the horizon like a jewel in the Caribbean Sea.
Our first Port of call was San Juan, Puerto Rico, the entrance to the port is very impressive with the views of the Fort of Castillo San Felipe de Morro.








The coastline is a mix of natural beauty and human touch. The city’s colorful colonial buildings, their pastel facades framed by the blue sky and the deep green of the surrounding hills, provide a striking contrast 










 We wandered off the ship and that gave us the chance to explore the old Town of San Juan. Stepping into Old San Juan is like walking through a living postcard, with vibrant colors, cobblestone streets, and centuries of history layered into every building and corner. The moment you cross through the historic gates and into the city, the modern world fades away, replaced by a charming, timeless atmosphere.















To celebrate Mandy's birthday  we went to  Airenumo restuarant for drinks and Tapas.  The décor is minimalist yet warm, with soft, earth-toned furnishings, polished wood accents, and touches of greenery that bring a sense of tranquility to the room.

Subtle hints of Puerto Rican flair are woven throughout, from the local artwork on the walls to the handcrafted details in the décor, making it feel both cosmopolitan and connected to the island’s heritage.
