Curacao: Scuba, Flamingos and Beaches

I got to do 3 dives while I was in Curacao.  Unfortunately I could only bring my camera on the last dive since the others went well below the depth limits for it.  The last site was a tugboat shipwreck below a pier.

The next day I rented a car and visited a couple different beaches around the island, including salt flats with flamingos, the rocky, rough beaches of the east coast, and the white sand beaches of the west coast.

Curacao: Willemstad

I spent the first day and a half wandering around Willemstad, a Caribbean town mixed with a bit of Amsterdam.

The floating market: boats come the 70km from Venezuela everyday

Dutch, English, and Papiamento that mixes in a lot of Spanish

New Year's Eve

Making sure Hailey has some New Year's fun too

Rappel

I spent last Saturday outside of Antigua learning to rappel for the first time.  We rappelled down a 40m waterfall and though it looks sunny and warm, the water was freezing.  I was fun, but would definitely be more enjoyable with some warmer temperatures.
