I thought you might like to see where we went one year on a two week vacation. I had seen an advertisement one time in a travel magizine of Aruba and thought the beaches were absolutely amazing. After spending time there nothing changed my mind.The top photo left is the area between our hotel pool and the beach. The photo top right is the view from the room at the hotel. On the left bottom is a spiney lobster. This is normally the type of lobster served on the islands however we did have Maine lobster once. The last photo bottom right is the heavenly white sandy beach with our high hotel in the background.
The hotel side of island on the Caribbean sea is all lush with turquoise waters and white beaches. The other side of the island is on the Atlantic looking across to Venezuela (which is fifteen miles.) It is dark blue and very rough and the terrain is dry desert with rocks, cactus, lizards and the many goats that wander about. We rented a jeep while we were there and did much exploring.
We looked so forward to our coffee in the morning. Rich, dark and so aromatic, a cup of heaven with warm cream for the taking. A pleasure.
We had our favorite little places that we liked to lunch at. Most no more than hole in the wall places but with such good eats. In the evening we dined in amazing restaurants. There is every venue you could ever want.
We also made evening rounds to the casino's on the island.
It was such a good holiday. We felt safe while there and everyone was very friendly and accommodating.
Oh it is fun to look back sometimes.
Later.
