Central America Caribbean » Aruba » Oranjestad November 7th 2008

The day we arrived in Oranjestad, Aruba we had no expectations. We thought we’d go to a beach, but never expected the day we had.

Aruba is an island which is part of the "West Indies". It is 20 miles long and 6 miles wide, has 101K inhabitants, and is located 17 miles from Venuzuela and 40 from Colombia. Aruba is an autonomous state within the Netherlands (under Dutch administration and support). An oil refinery keeps the economy strong and Aruba is the world's largest exporter of aloe (once covered 2/3rds of the island). The official language is Dutch, English is widely spoken, and nearly all Arubans also speak Papiamento. We didn't eat any ostrich (there is an ostrich farm on Aruba).... read more
