Daystar Breakfast, Aruba

I posted about the Daystar Cafe in Savaneta, Aruba, before. Here’s an update. It was breakfast time, perhaps my most favorite of the three meals, and I was already on the run from the early morning hours, so I decided to stop in for an omelet. Take a look.

One loaded omelete, eh? Toast and sausage to boot. Not shown a bowl of fried potatoes, you know, to keep the cholesterol up there. You’ll enjoy the good service at the Daystar as much as the food. The place is located behind the General Store in Savaneta, on the main highway. If you’re on the way to Baby Beach or roaming about the island, this is a great place for breakfast or lunch or to get some wraps, sandwiches, or a fruit bowl to go. Ice-cold Coca-Cola as well.

Bon dia from Aruba.

De Palm Island, Aruba

De Palm Tours operates an island attraction just a few hundred yards off shore of Aruba. In the next photo, you’ll see it from above.

You’ll find plenty of activities on De Palm Island. Snorkeling, water slides, beaches, and snacks all await your arrival. A small boat takes you from the main island out here and runs regular service back and forth all day. Bring your swimsuit, your towel, and a smile. You’ll have a great time.

Bon dia from Aruba.

Sunrise at Baby Beach

When it’s cold outside and you’re feeling a little blue, or maybe just need a recharge from the Caribbean dawn, take a look at this video of the rising sun at Aruba’s Baby Beach.

Yeah, that’ll do it. Bon dia from Aruba.

Reporters at Work

There’s been some international news coming from Aruba in the past week or so. A swarm of reporters has descended on the island to bring live video to the world. Here is a photo of a group of them working in San Nicolaas, trying to get the shot of a suspect being escorted from the police station.

Check out the intrepid cameraman atop the van.

I have to admit, these people work very hard to get the shot. They were camped out all day for about ten seconds of material. That’s a long time to be in the Aruban sun without a drink. It’s a tough job that deserves more respect than it gets.
