Day 2 - Wednesday 27th November 2024, Aruba, Oranjestad, Cruise boarding day - the Caribbean Cruise

 

We had been to Aruba before but only when Michael saw the blue horse, was he convinced.

Walking the promenade, we got up early and started walking back to the seafront around 8:00 am, we boarding the ship by 14:00 so not much time to do any activities, we both love walking and exploring.. 

Lovely coffee shop we found in our exploring.

The mandatory barber visit.

We ate in a barefoot restaurant and bar, Michael found it while browsing the Aruba magazine on the plane. Armed with google maps curtesy of esimm that worked - yay- we set off in the dark and walked 2.5km to the beach front. Michael had the mixed grill and I had the seafood, prawns and fish in a spicy sauce, so tasty.

We also walked and swam this morning after a breakfast of empanadas and coffee at a local takeaway. Only after walking some more, did we find the opulent Renaissance Hotel with a Starbucks. Michael maintains that the coffee from the street vendor was better than starbucks.

Now waiting to be taken to the cruise terminal while laying by the pool at Kamerlingh Villa
