Aruba and Curacao last island on two week cruise on The Rotterdam

1- Aruba

We visited the non-tourist side of the island which included two caves in Arikok National Park.
It proved to be a challenge for me not to fall in the dark caves.  My balance has gotten so bad and with poor light on uneven floors it felt very precarious for me.  I went very slow and the rangers watched out for me. I did hit my head on the top of the cave. Ouch! 

No more tours to caves!


2-Willemstad, Curacao last island on two week cruise on The Rotterdam

 Curacao does not get much rain. 

The guide told us today there is a great sunset everyday.

The next day we went to Curacao where we toured the distillery that makes the Blue Liqueur made from the local oranges.
I had a Blue daiquiri for $8.
