| Caribbean Cruise - 2007 Curacao |
|
This is Willemstad, Curacao. A picturesque Dutch colonial town. |
The Queen Juliana bridge is in the background--named for the Dutch queen. We walked across a level pontoon bridge, not that one, to get into town. |
|
|
| A very nice shopping mall was just off the pier where we docked. It was built within the walls of an old fort. |
 |
|
This gives a view of the enormous ship from the mall area. |
There was a floating market in this town, which was most interesting -- the locals bought seafood and vegetables here. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| A pause that refreshes--it was hot and humid. The buildings in the background are typical of the whole town. |
 |
 |
| We found this restaurant that was right on the ocean--and shady! |
At the restaurant, we could see our ship docked in the background |
 |
 |
| In the afternoon we made our way to this beach, where a jetty kept the waters calm and the viewing for snorkelers good. It was a beautiful place. |
The scenery was quite good at this beach, including several topless sunbathers. |
