Who wouldn't want to be in Aruba - Dutch Caribbean Island?
Aruba
With my sister in Aruba -downtown Oranjestad
I googled Aruba and came up with this information:
In 1986 Aruba pulled out of the Netherlands Antilles - a federation of Dutch Caribbean territories - and obtained separate status within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Dutch government controls defence and foreign affairs while the island's government handles local matters.11 Sept 2023

A welcome drink and a liquer very cleverly name Amaruba (instead of Amarula)
My sister and I are in Aruba for a short holiday. Yesterday we went on a jeep tour of the island. We were told that it only takes 40 minutes from the one end to the other. It was a full day tour and ended with a swim - and we noted that the water was actually too warm but this could be because they're having a heat waive with very high temperatures at present.

Last night we were blessed with some amazing sunsets:
It's really a beautiful island and today I discovered Divi Beach Wow, what a beautiful beach.

I caught the bus to get there and on the way came across these iguana's

And they aren't shy to walk on the beach as well.
Happily strolling along
Tonight we'll be enjoying a 4 course dinner from a place where we have to get to by speedboat - so really looking forward to this experience. We're meeting at a bar called Lucy's for a welcome drink and then off to a new adventure.
Until next time ...
