The Marriott Hotel in Aruba is building an adults only pool. This sign showed up on the promenade connecting the hotel with the Ocean Club.
Just in case you’re confused as to how to dress and enjoy this kind of thing, they also posted this photo.
Anyone who has the pleasure of staying at the Marriott, let me know how this project turns out so I can update the blog here at The Bent Page.
There are some strange constructions on the island of Aruba. This one caught my eye in Seroe Preto, near San Nicolaas. It’s the site of a Disney-like castle that is lit up with Christmas lights during the season. Here it is during the day, in summer.
That’s quite a piece of work. The next photo shows the view from up there, which is equally impressive.
Finally, here is the direct Disney connection, a painting on the wall.
Snow White and her seven Arubian dwarfs are on display. Come Christmastime, I look forward to checking this place out when it’s shining bright against the Caribbean sky.
Bon dia.
During my last visit to Aruba, the Hollywood Smokehouse and Diner had just opened in my favorite town of San Nicolaas. Well, upon arrival, I made plans to stop in for some great food and, man, was I well-satisfied. Mike, the owner, was there. He updated me on new things on the island before setting me up with a couple of brisket platters for take away. And here’s the sight to behold:
That’s a beef brisket platter with cole slaw, potato salad, and beans for the low price of afl. 22.00. (About $12 US) Fair enough and plenty filling. That brisket will cut with a fork so forget the knife. Plus, chatting with Mike and the other patrons enhances the experience if you eat in. On you way to or from Baby Beach or just rambling about the island, don’t miss the Hollywood Smokehouse and Diner. Most excellent and highly recommended. Here is a shot of the menu card.
And the opposite side showing the location and the story of the place.
No excuses! Get there and fill in your bikini.
Arrived Aruba and the little stray cat that lives near my house returned in short order. Regular blog readers will remember his name: TUX. He’s a tough one, suffering at the paws of other strays and who knows what else. But he’s on the good food program now and will be bulking up. Here’s a quick video I made to practice with the new software.
Now that I’m in Aruba, I’ll be making some more interesting videos with excellent content. They will feature local characters, some of whom have shown up in my novels. So, stay tuned!
