{Our Curaçao Vacation}
Yesterday, Marlies from the blog: Rosenrot in Germany, did ask me about our experience with Curaçao.
So let's reply to that question!
Behind Pieter, on the above picture that I took, you can see the very different, vibrant architecture of Willemstad.
Curaçao is one of the four countries within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, together with Aruba and Sint Maarten.
It is situated in the Caribbean.

It is situated in the Caribbean.
The Capital Willemstad Ranked Among The Best UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Here you see the harbor entrance and the Handelskade.
My husband Pieter did go to Curaçao twice before he went with me. His daughter Liz did get to go with him on both trips.
Those two trips were for the Dutch Government, to do a feasibility study about growing mushrooms on the island.

The reflection in the water by night.
We did take the tour to the West Point of the island, also the Boca Tabla Cave and we did visit the Plantation House Jan Kock. That gives you a good idea about this special island.
We did stay at a hotel near Piscadera Bay with its very clear waters.
Curaçao is a paradise for those that love to snorkel and scuba dive!
Pristine white sand beaches! This is Piscadera Bay.
As said, very clear waters!
That's what I spotted... The Iguana, one of the many reptiles that live in the Caribbean in general.
This is a 'suikerdiefje Curaçao' a very tame bird that comes to steal sugar!
Of course such kind of thistles grow there too.

We flew from Atlanta to Miami and met with dear friend Natacha and her family, before going on to Willemstad, Curaçao.
Meeting with such a dear friend is an added bonus!
Besides, we would be flying over her birth country, the Dominican Republic, on our way to Curaçao so we might as well visit with her!
Those who are lucky to fly from Europe to Curaçao might get a super deal on Vliegtarieven.nl!
Hope you will enjoy this island as much as we have; we can highly recommend it to anyone.
