Travel Tip: Fish - and jelly fish!

3 stars
Published on Jul 10, 2008 by LucyHB for Taganga

Splashing around in the clear blue waters of Playa Grande, it was beautiful to watch the brightly-coloured fish swim beneath and between my feet as I kept cool from the beating sun. It was less beautiful, minutes later, to feel a searing pain up my arm and realise I had been stung by a jellyfish. To my knowledge there are no particularly dangerous breeds of jellyfish in these waters, so I wouldn't want to alarm anybody, but it did hurt a heck of a lot for a few minutes. After yelping around and cursing for a while the pain was gone, but it did make me a little cautious about venturing back into the water - not least because, as I had never seen my attacker, I could only assume it was one of those transparent blighters that are near impossible to spot in the water.
