After we finished our cruise with Royal Caribbean “Brilliance of the
Seas”, we decided to stay 3 days in San Juan, Puerto Rico, since we had
already taken the time to fly there in the first place. The hotel we
stayed at was called Casa Condado, which is in the tourist area of San
Juan. It wasn’t anything fancy, but for the price, it served its main
purpose : it was a clean place to sleep and shower. It was very
conveniently located, just a few minutes walk from the beach. There is a
Walgreen’s close by in case you needed any drinks or randomness. It
was close to Ashford Avenue, which had some really nice ritzy stores.
We took a cab one day to the biggest Caribbean mall called Plaza Las
Americas Shopping Centre. Also stopped by the Museo de Arte de Puerto
Rico. Our hotel was also close to a bus stop which took us to Old San
Juan for $0.75 USD each way. While in Old San Juan, we enjoyed some of
the restaurants and did a little bit of shopping. There were also two
forts in Old San Juan : Castillo de San Cristobal and El Morro that are
worth checking out. On our last day, we took the bus, then the train to
the Rio Piedras Market, where you’ll find fruits, vegetables and lots of bargains for clothing, shoes, etc. If
we had stayed an extra day, we would’ve made a trip to see the
rainforest called El Yunque — heard it was beautiful. Maybe next time…
