Coconuts are usually good stuff, hopefully you guys just got a bad one. I've always wanted to go to that beach right by the airport. It looks pretty crazy how close planes get when landing.
I think the area by the beach on the right with the colorful houses in this pic is called ?La Perla? And it isn't the best of neighborhoods. Its pretty funny how you saw a helicopter in the area, because there always seems to be one hovering around this area looking for someone.
