Curacao
A marvelous island.
Dry but not the desert
that we saw in
Aruba.
The city is a palette of
pastels.
Back across the city to
our ship.
We visited a museum with
artifacts of
early colonial days and other things that were not uncommon in the
first half of the 20th century.
Our guide played the
bells outside
the museum from this keyboard.
There was also a stained
glass map of
the Caribbean.
We visited a cave into a
coral rock
hill.
It was the first time we
have ever
been hot in a cave.
The outside temperature
never gets
very cool and often gets hot so the whole hill/cave is quite warm.
Standard cave
formations, water
carved rock and drip structures.
Outside was a trail with
coral cliffs
that were once below sea level but now well above.
You wouldn't visit the
island
of Curacao without a stop at the place where it's most famous product
is produced.
We sampled some of the
many varieties
available.
Back at the dock we
found these
fanciful coral people.
