Sailing Around The World

My Thoughts Of Bonaire Island

I really like the Island of Bonaire and will defiantly make a scuba vacation trip back. The island also has some of the best snorkeling that I have ever seen and you could spend all week snorkeling from the beachs, then drink beer and cocktails at the many beach bars all over the island. The Dutch speak very good English and love that you are on the island. It was one of the few islands I was not treated like another dumb tourist or annoyed with taxi drivers/store owners trying to get a sale. I really enjoyed getting off the path here and enjoyed all the nature parks. My favorite place was the Grocery Store. I love fine food, wine, cheese, meats, and very strange items. Well the Dutch Super Market  on Bonaire Island is amazing! I wish I had my camera and a few weeks to try everything they offered. I still spent $40 dollars on walnut cheese, chocolate, breads, thin sliced deli meat that just melts in your mouth. Last I enjoyed the prices of the fine restaurants which served up some of the most indescribable burgers and dinners that I have every had. Never thought I could have a better hamburger then in the USA, well I was dead wrong. I had a burgundy  burger that I think was made for god because it tasted so good with rich spices and flavors that I cannot describe

I am now sitting in Curacao Island  with 30 knots winds and it  took 5 hours to sail east from Bonaire Island, I have good internet. I posted some pictures that my dad took well I was out diving. I hope you enjoy.

    Seems like it would have to be a pretty cool place to have beaches with cacti and wild goats.
