Finally! We woke up to sunshine! Originally we had planned on renting a car and driving to the rainforest, El Yunke. I had us signed up for zip lining, but we had made an educated decision that we are both big people and dangling from a wire 300 years above the ground is not a good idea. That and after seeing how people drive in PR, I really didn't want to drive anywhere. Instead we decided to make it a beach day.
The El Con doesn't have a beach area where the hotel is, they have a private beach island that is only accessible by boat. We took the funicular down to the marina and took the next ferry over to the island. It was perfect. White sand beaches, rum cabanas, clear blue water. We set up under a palm tree leave umbrella hut and broke out the beach towels. It was just what we both needed a day of doing nothing.
Around 1 p.m. the rain just couldn't stay away and we were forced to abandon the beach and take the ferry back to the hotel. We hung out in the hotel room and napped until dinner. We had a better dinner experience much do to the great server we had. After dinner we went back to the casino and got wrapped up in Deal or No Deal.
There's not much more to do at an all inclusive resort, so when the casino closed at midnight we went back to the room and got ready for our trip back to San Juan the next day. As much as I was looking forward to spending time at the El Con, I was glad to be heading back to San Juan. I didn't like the big resort and feeling confined to the hotel.
