Caribbean Court Bonaire

Our last day of snorkeling, and we saw an octopus! How cool. It wasn't hiding in a hole, either. We watched it launch itself from a rock, glide a few feet, and stick to the next one, over and over.<br><br>Reflecting on our favorites..... Last Bite Bakery, Gary, Linda's dive instructor at Carib Inn, pumpkin ravioli at Capriccios, diving ...

... tried to call them, but that didn't work, so we hopped in the car and asked a bunch of people until we found the place. <br> <br>Turns out we got there in time. Rusty joined us in the morning for a refresher and then went out on a boat dive in the afternoon. Two sweet girls were in my class with me. Claire and Haley, the oldest of 5 kids, were 12 and 14 years old. They had been snorkeling ...

Efter en helt igennem skøn uge her på Bonaire, hvor vi blot har hygget, svømmet, nydt og fundet os selv igen, går turen til DK i morgen formiddag. I løbet af de sidste to dage har vi haft et godt dyk på Buddy's Reef, hvor vi sa mange fine fisk, og desuden har vi haft et natdyk ved pillerne under øens Salt Pier, hvilket var en rigtig stor oplevelse. Det er noget helt andet at dykke, når mørket har sænket sig, og vi så fx. en eagle ray, spine ...

Saa staar den da for alvor paa daaaaaaaas! Vi har faaet en super lejlighed med direkte udsigt til det caribiske hav ca. 15-20 m vaek. Det er helt perfekt! I dag tog vi en baad til "Klein Bonaire" som er en ubeboet oe der ligger en 30 min. sejltur fra Kralendijk. Her er den fineste strand og vi snorklede rundt mellem en masse fantastiske fisk, og saa ellers hjem paa altanen til oel, chips og solnedgang.... aaaah livet er god til os.

... activities for tourists are shopping around the port, snorkeling/diving (some of the best) and kayaking. We took an excursion through Princess cruises ($75). It was aprox 3 hours. We were taken on a small bus to the Mangrove area in Lac Bay. http://www.mangrovecenter.com/ From there we were given a brief educational lecture about the Mangroves and subsequent ...

... It was a lovely site. The rustic landscape is covered with a variety of cacti as well ad divi divi trees. The cactuses are often used as fences. We stopped at Goto Lake, a natural saltwater lake where pink flamingos can often be spotted. <br><br>Afterwards, we passed through the village of Rincon that was built by Spanish explorers and was the first settlement on Bonaire. Before returning to the ...

Gorgeous water! Lots of beautiful fish! All right off the back of the boat which was moored right off the shore of Kralendijk, Bonaire's major city. Thanksgiving with good friends, Karen and Jason of YOLO--and a great tour of the pretty island--with sights including pink flamingoes! All this and more made for a wondeful stop along the way.<br><br>Some other things of note: <br>-- A donkey farm and wild donkeys--Donkeys were used in the 1800s for the ...

... un peu surprise du choix, car on s'attend toujours à aller sur une grande plage, mais en fait, ce site était vraiment impressionnant. On est donc descendu entre les voiliers amarrés dans la marina et à peine la tête à l'eau on s'est retrouvé comme dans un coffre aux trésors... C'est vraiment bizarre de réaliser qu'à quelques pieds du bord, sous les voiliers qui attendent sagement dans leur marina en se berçant au fil de l'eau, une vie si riche ...

... man! Let's go shopping now. Forget it: nothing is open. We drive around and around. Bonaire has a land area of 288 km; population 14,000. Which is almost half of the size of Bonaire and same population. But no decent store open. Luckily, our diving mistress of this morning ...

... of shots I only caught a few dives on camera. At about seven the sun would go down, the mozzies would come out in force and we would leg it back to the B&amp;B's for dinner. In the evening there wasn't much going on but we chilled out and had the craic anyway. Yesterday was the 4th of July and two American guys staying in the hotel decided to have a Barbie and feed six of us. It was great craic - on the radio in the back round Hugo Chavez the ...
