Back in Curacao
08 February 2009 | Spanish Waters Curacao
pilott / clear and breezy
Well, we're back at anchor in Spanish Waters. We have a couple of days to show David and Nikkie the highlights of the island. Should be enough time as the touristy items are some what limited here. We will do the old town and the shops in the tourist area, then have some lunch at our favorite restuarant on the waterfront, Grill King. Curacao is great for buying or importing boat parts and getting repairs done, also for provisioning; otherwise it holds little appeal for me. We catch the bus and head for the old town. Don't know how long it's been since David and Nikkie rode a bus, but they take it all in stride and soon we are wandering around the old city of Orangestad acting like your typical touristas. The girls are enjoying themselves and David and I are trying to hang in there without any sign of boredom! Still it was a good day and a good time was had by all. Back to the boat for thier final night with us. A nice dinner and drinks in the cockpit, last night conversation, and at 5am I take them in to meet the taxi we have laid on to take them to the airport. By dinner time tonight they will be 3000 miles north of us and 40 degrees colder. However, I know that it won't be too long before the siren call of the sea will bring them back for another visit.
