Playing dominoes seems like a national pastime in San Juan. Almost everywhere that you can find shade, you can find people playing Dominoes.

Walls, windows and doors
Old San Juan has been remodeled in recent years to restore its old charm. Colorful walls and old style architecture make walking around town an absolute pleasure.
Castles in San Juan
Old San Juan is a fortress town with the Castillo San Felipe and Castillo San Cristobal acting as the focal points for the old town's fortifications. The whole of the town is encircled as a walled city.
Nightclubs and bars
Old San Juan has a great selection of bars. lounge bars and the like. Other than a huge selection of cocktails the music is just as varied.
San Juan Night life
Does not take much to have a good time in San Juan. All you need is to find any bar and you are bound to find some band setting up to provide you with great live music and all you have to do is join the locals in some dancing. Salsa is de rigour and the Mercado de la Plaza in Santruce on a Friday night is a must.....

Lava flow
Managed to find a new beach on Tortola today. The secret was revealed by a person I met on the dive boat last week. The beach is deserted as it is quite difficult to find but you are rewarded with a great wide beach with white sand surrounded by lava flows which has come down the mountain into the sea. These rugged rocks are extremely sharp and play host to some rather large crabs! The landscape is quite spectacular and to find a deserted beach in the Caribbean is quite an event.
