IT'S PERFECT AT ANCHOR SPANISH WATERS, CURACAO |
THE FLOATING FISH MARKET FROM ACROSS THE CHANNEL |
We took the bus into Willemstad on Wednesday for the Queens Holiday. Everyone on the island came for the party most dressed in orange. We made our way through the streets full of people and vendors to walk across the Queen Emma Pontoon Bridge. I have never seen so many people on a bridge in my life. After a walk around town we visited the Maritime Museum and listened to a band before returning to the bus stop for a ride back to Spanish Waters. The whole experience was people and sound overload. Back on It's Perfect all is peaceful.
Yesterday we took the free shopping bus into the grocery. The selection is very good and the prices very close to American stores. On the bus we met a family anchored close by from Germany. In their early forty's, they have taken a 5 year break from work and moved aboard their 36ft sailboat with their 4 children under the age of 9 to see the world. After 18 months in the Med to have Hanna their youngest child they crossed the Atlantic and are now on their way to the Panama Canal. The Marquesas is their destination for hurricane season. After that they are talking about Australia and New Zealand. The children were well behaved, happy and tan. Purchasing a new water pistol made their day.
