Corner by the Sea

Before obtaining my shack in Aruba, I used to stay at the Aruba Beach Chalets, which have been shown on The Bent Page a few times. Well, here’s another view, this one from above.

It is the red tile roof building directly on the sea. Some friends will be staying there in a few months. We enjoy sitting on the deck, chatting over coffee in the morning, looking out at the sea from this little corner of the world in Savaneta, Aruba. When you’re in a place like this, it’s easy to forget about the rest of the world. As long as you have the basics, there isn’t much to worry about.

Aruba’s Flying Fishbone

The Flying Fishbone is a venerable restaurant to be found in Saventa, Aruba, DWI. More than that, it offers a romantic setting with tables on the beach and even in the Caribbean sea if that is your choice. Here you can watch the sunset while enjoying a fine dining experience. Having been here several times, I can say it’s worth it. Hence, I made a video showing the restaurant as well as how to drive there from the main highway. It’s easy. Take a look:

Keep the Flying Fishbone in mind for a special evening out or a fantastic gathering with family and friends. Don’t forget to check when the sunsets and arrive about half an hour earlier. Bring the camera!

Bon dia.

Zeerover’s, A quick visit

Zeerover’s fisherman’s wharf is in Savaneta, Aruba, DWI. This is the kind of place that hasn’t changed much in the past fifty years. Here the daily catch comes in, and if you like, they’ll fry it up for you while you wait. Then you can have a seat, an ice-cold drink, and gaze upon the Caribbean while you eat. There’s also a pool table if you like the challenge. Here’s a video that shows you how to get there from the main highway, heading south. Then there’s a look inside.

During your visit to Aruba, take the time to stop in to Zeerover’s and as many of the other local joints as you can. It’ll add a new dimension to your vacation. Bon dia.
