Oranjestad Harbor
Today was going to be different. We had no shore excursions,
and the entire day to wander around the city on our own.
After clearing the ship we headed directly to the Motor Company’s
store. It was only a short walk, and the humidity and heat were not too bad. It
took no time at all to reach our destination, and upon arrival we discovered the
outpost closed due to remodeling of the stores electrical system.

With the shop dark it was necessary to implement plan b, and
with plenty of time we wandered around seeking out trinkets and the seeder less
tourist part of town, and were not disappointed as we discovered Rancho City
with the remains of an old kiln, that nowadays provided shelter for the islands
less fortunate.
The Kiln of Oranjestad
We wandered some more but with lunch time rapidly approaching
it was deemed that returning to the ship would be the best option available.
Back on board the time passed rapidly. Our culinary team who had been working
hard since we left lured us to the buffet. It was soon time to sail.
Oranjestad Sail Away
Since the afternoon mostly was spent sampling the wares that
our culinary team prepares we would be ready for our next port of call, Bonaire
and the city of Kralendijk where riding pedal bikes to a flamingo sanctuary was
scheduled.
And with any luck we will wake up in our next port of call, Bonaire and the city of Kralendijk in time for breakfast.
