Friday the 13th
of April.
If all the Friday the 13th’s
are like this then in the colloquialism of the Assis “No Worries”! We arrived
in Willemstadt Curacao this morning to yet another fantastic day.
We have been here before
so we knew a little about what to expect. Out on deck when we arrived, we saw
from the ship, together with all the other Dutch people who were excitedly also
on deck, the lovely town with its pastel shaded Dutch style canal houses
gradually getting nearer and then we were berthed and ready for the day.
We did not take the tour
today but mad our way through the town on our own sampling the delights of “a
Holland” in the Caribbean. It was hot again, but manageable and although we
have been here before we found new places and things to see.This truly is a
lovely place and with the local people not only speaking Papiamenti (their own
language), but also Dutch, all the Dutch people on board felt very much at home
and enjoyed the day very much indeed.
A big bonus for Suuske and
no doubt all the other Dutch nationals was that the coffee in the coffee shops
was what one expects to drink and not like the coffee on board which leaves a
lot to be desired!
