The natural bridge in Aruba, the one you probably heard of, fell down a few years ago. But don’t worry, nature is scarfing out another one that is destined to be just as beautiful. Here’s a look at the one that still stands on the eastern edge of the island.
The one that fell down was only a few yards away, and here is what’s left of it.
Luckily it fell down in the middle of the night, like so many things do, and no one was injured. This side of Aruba faces into the trade winds. The seas are driven on the shore with spectacular results, like these natural bridges that are cut from the rock. You’ll see water shooting straight up as it crashes over the rocks. The vistas can be striking, especially early in the morning. Most guided tours of the island bring you to this spot.
As you may have suspected, there is place to buy trinkets and use the toilet. It’s called the Thirst-Aid Station and I recommend you avail yourself of the facilities before you head on with your jaunt.
If you have been reading this blog for any amount of time, you know that it is the perfect place for an ICE-COLD Coca-Cola. I’ve had a few here with friends and family and so should you.
