{193 Countries Visited - Welcome Caribbean Netherlands}

Thank you so much for visiting my humble blog and for leaving comments! On October 19, Country # 193 visited; Welcome Caribbean Netherlands!
The Caribbean Netherlands refers to a group of three special municipalities of the Kingdom of The Netherlands that are located in the Caribbean Sea: the islands of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, which are also known as the BES islands.
We have only been to Curaçao, Aruba and St. Maarten...
Wish we could be back in the Caribbean! 

How many total Countries are there?

  1. Sounds that it's an exciting experience. Congratulations Mariette!!!
    It makes me wish to track my blog visits.

    On another note thank you so much for commenting in my post and for point the detail of the blazer sleeves. I never thought of it, but after you told me I could see you are right. Thanks, now I can be more aware of it.

    Have a nice week, dear
    xoxo

    1. Dearest Seeker,
      Thank you and yes, it is interesting to track this, I lost my first 2 years though but this is since July 10, 2011 and I also wised up for putting the maximum number of countries...
      You are quite welcome and we got our training for spotting things like that. One always has to look at proportions and fit and don't we all want to look taller and/or slimmer?
      Hugs and happy new week.
      Mariette

  9. You are right about being able to hear of news the world over. We have access to people and countries that we otherwise wouldn't. The Caribbean Netherlands I only learned about a couple of years ago. :) Best wishes to you, Tammy

    1. Dearest Tammy,
      That is a truth and like these 193 countries visiting, who would have thought about such a thing only ten years back? The same is true with the world news. It enters our living room on a daily bases right as it is unfolding somewhere. We have been fortunate for knowing the Dutch Caribbean personally but not yet these three islands...
      Hugs,

      Thank you so much. The world is kind of getting into a melting pot itself where all countries can look outside of their own borders.
      Happy week to you as well and many hugs!
