ON CURACAO

January 31, 2012


“Curacao: An Experience of the Heart” was the title of today’s talk, and it was very well attended.  After lunch we took a trip to the Hato Caves (no good pictures – they won’t let you photograph in the areas where there are good formations because about 400 bats live in the cave, and flash and digital photography disturb them).  After the caves we did a brief walking tour of historical Willemstad, and then back to the ship for supper and a show (through which your humble scribe slept – not the performers’ fault; I was pooped).

Here are a few pictures.  First of the travelers.


Second, Fort Amsterdam. 


Third, buildings in the Punda (the point) along Santa Anna Bay. 


And finally, a view out our bus window on the Queen Juliana Bridge, 185 feet above the surface of the bay.


We are wandering on our own around Aruba tomorrow.

TTFN!
