Day three was exploring time once again. After waking up in the morning, it was time to hit the beach for a little bit. After a snack at the bar on the beach, we decided to visit the Bacardi Factory and then take the ferry across the bay to Old San Juan again.

The Bacardi Factory was surprisingly interesting.  After sitting around for a little while, we…along with the other touristas…boarding a Disneyland looking trolley thing (think how you get from the lot to Disney)…drove about 300 feet…and were dropped off at the entrance to the tour. Um yea.

The tour comprised of several differenct sections that expounded on everything from the history of Bacardi Rum to the final room in which we were shown how to make various drinks. I found the history of the company very interesting and enjoyed looking through a number of the historical items that were on premises.

Following the tour, we headed to the ferry which would take us across the bay to Old San Juan once again. The ferry hauled ass…I’ll give it that…and after about 10 minutes we were in Old San Juan. Apparently no cruise ships were docking this evening so there were not nearly as many local vendors as the previous evening. We decided to try another restaurant in the area and chose poorly. Genesis Restaurant in Old San Juan has the only BAD food I have ever tasted during our trip. Food every place else was fresh and wonderful. This place…we figured out too late…was aimed at drunk tourists who did not know they were getting chicken in a can.

After walking around for a little bit and taking some photos, we hopped back on the ferry, jumped in the car, and headed back to the hotel. I have to admit I was very tempted to order Taco Bell in Puerto Rico as it just struck me funny to do so. We ended up grabbing Wendy’s instead.

The next day was Thanksgiving so we tried to get to bed early as we knew we had a flight to catch back to the US.

One more note about Puerto Rico…they are famous for a little frog called a Coqui which when it vocalizes…sounds like it is saying “Coqui”. They are loud as heck but do a fantastic job of taking care of insects. We left our hotel balcony open all day and all night and never saw one bug!
