San Juan: Historic Fort Tour 2

After visiting Castillo San Cristóbal we got back on the tour bus and headed to our second and last historic fort, Castillo San Felipe Del Morro. The first fort was pretty amazing and gave an amazing view into the lives of the soldiers that would have been stationed there so many years ago. That fort has some pretty amazing views; but nothing compared to the grandeur of this fort. The size of the fort and the views from all over the fort of the coast and ocean were incredible. There was also an old cemetery on the grounds just outside the gates of the fort.

There was a great deal of walking today!! I wish I had more time to take photos and videos of both ports, but we are on our way to our next port of call, Amber Cove in the Dominican Republic.

San Juan: Historic Fort Tour 1

Today was our first excursion. We were in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The excursion was visiting two historic forts founded by the Spanish. The first fort was Castillo San Cristóbal. It’s actually in the heart of San Juan. I could see the fort easily from the top deck of the Mardis Gras.
