Curacao

This is a picture of the waterfront from the pontoon bridge. The pontoon bridge is for foot traffic from one side to the other. When boats want to come down the canal the bridge swings sideways to let them by.

Below is a picture of the pontoon bridge all lit up. Curacao is a very colorful place.

We went on a morning ship’s excursion. The first thing we saw were these cool flamingos. When they hatch, they are white and as they get older, they turn pink.

Next stop was the Hota Caves. It was interesting and there were lots of bats flying around. Rock formations were really cool. The rest of the excursion was downright boring so we are starting to rethink the rest of our ship’s excursions. We have quite a few private excursions that Jer has set up. We may have to look into doing more of those.

Last night we had dinner at Prego, Italian specialty restaurant

This is the wonderful carpaccio that I had, paper this slices of beef with capers, olive oil. balsamic vinegar and grated cheese. It was yummy!!!

 

Jer had the Osso Buco, a beautifully braised veal shank. It was outstanding.

Tonight they had an event called Curios Curacao. On World Cruises they will do different special events and this was the first one. A lot of singing and dancing and audience participation.
