Caribbean Day 6: Curaçao

We sailed overnight to Curaçao, making this my second new island nation in as many days.

Given the political instability in Venezuela these days, I’m neither surprised nor disappointed that our itinerary did not include a stop there.

Of the two islands, I much preferred Curaçao: it was much more developed and refined. I wish that I had been able to rent a car from Willemstad, but alas, they were all sold out. I think I would have enjoyed exploring the island on my own.

Here are some photos from today’s walkabout in the main city of Willemstad:
