After breakfast we went to Mangel Halto. There are no street signs on Aruba. It is really hard to find the places that you want to go to. We had a hard time finding this location but after a couple of stops to asked questions we eventually did. We parked near Nam Yong Supermarket. As we walked towards the beach area there were people working to improve the place. We looked for a spot where we can enter the water between the mangroves. We came here to snorkel. It is sad to see the reef; they're dead. There are some corals that are striving. To fully appreciate snorkeling on this area, you have to swim towards the white buoy. There are lots of shells here too. We had a lunch picnic then we snorkeled some more and went to Malmok Beach. We all love Malmok Beach. It is a lovely place for swimming and snorkeling.
After dinner we went to the pier in front of the hotel to see if there are fresh caught fish that we can buy but there were nothing much left and it was almost dark. We decided to go to the supermarket to buy stroopwafels to take home with us. Along the way, we passed by "Workman's" cache. There were no more tents so we stopped and looked for the cache. But it was dark and the small flashlight we had was not enough help so we decided to come back the next day and try our luck.
