CURACAO

Another fun day with the Miller's exploring Curacao! We started by exploring the bustling port and capital city of Willemstad. This is a Dutch Caribbean Island with a large Dutch community. Known for its old town center with pastel colored colonial architecture. The floating Queen Emma Bridge connects the Punda and Otrobanda neighborhoods. The old Rio Fort has been converted into a shopping center. After walking and exploring most of the morning, we taxied to KOKOMO BEACH to chill for the afternoon. It's a private beach club with a bar and restaurant and a nice calm swimming area and beach.

Somedays are just meant to be beach days, to chill with a friend! First, I did an uber run to nearby Costco in the town of Lihue, where I bought us Tommy Bahama backpack beach chairs! Then we were good to go. Kalapaki beach was just a quick 15 minute walk from the Ship. I realized I did the same thing with my Cousin Cathy , back in 2020, when I was here on my first cruise to Hawaii! Today, I spent the afternoon chilling with good buddy Sherrie Cornett.
