CURACAO - DAY 2

We hired a driver to take us on a tour of the island's north end, which is loaded with beaches, wildlife and Sheta Boka National Park ( which has bokas or blowholes and caves). The driver brought his daughter and wife along with us because they were on Holiday for Easter week, along with a lot of other tourist, making this area very crowded! We started at the caves, before the crowds were too much. They called the cave Nature's movie theater. It was mesmerizing to watch the waves crash in.

Next we went to see the sea turtles at Playa Piskado. It was sooo crowded, we actually felt sorry for the turtles and didn't even get water to swim with them. We just took some photos and left for the next stop.

Then we checked out BON BINI BEACH, which is very popular and used by tourism board to promote Curacao.

We ended at the quieter beach, Playa Porto Mari, for some time to relax in the sun and swim, before heading back to the Ship.

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.
