Curaçao, Dutch Antilles



Tuesday, April 16, 2013







Arrived at 8, enjoyed the sailing, lovely, colourful and prosperous



A governor had migraines, decided that the whitewash was the reason for his problems and made a law that all the buildings had to be “not white”; imagine lovely Dutch buildings in pastel colours all different, lovely.



Curacao is built on 2 sides of a small harbor with a floating pontoon moveable bridge. We are docked between these old and new sides within short walking distance of the pedestrian pontoon bridge.



We walked the old side for an hour this morning, came home for a drink, I had to drown ¾ of a liter of lemon tea and wash some clothes: very hot.



Terry is reading Shibumi for a little break( thank you MF).



We are going back out at 11 to catch a 10$ tour around town on an open bus and snorkel at Mambo beach for an hour or 2: 10$ each



This afternoon we plan to walk around the new town and find a free wi-fi connection at a café or hotel lobby to call granny and post my 2 blogs.



We are here till 10:30 tonight.



Off to Aruba tomorrow, I am expecting a bit of the same.



We sleep well for 8 to 10 hours every night, the show last night was a mentalist and her husband act.
