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.

Palomarga Raceway, Aruba

If you like to combine drag racing with Caribbean sunshine, then make a visit to Aruba while the races are going on at the Palomarga Raceway. There are some scheduled races going on right now and the competition is going to first class. Take a look at the track as seen from the air. The lanes are on the left of the frame, then the stands, then the pit area near the top of the photo.

That’s quite a track. Maybe you have a car you want to send to Aruba and race it yourself. Either way, it’s an exciting activity you might not expect in a place like Aruba, something different to do while you’re here enjoying the sun and water sports. Check the schedule and head down to Palomarga. Don’t forget your earplugs.

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.

Tropical Sangria

Sangria is one of those drinks that lends itself to local interpretation. It shows up in a wide range of flavors, including a white-wine based variety. The more traditional version was recently sampled by those of us here at The Bent Page. We enjoyed several glasses at the Screaming Eagle restaurant in Aruba. Here’s a photo.

The trick is to be careful how much fruit is put in the glass. It can get overly sweet or tangy depending on the type used. The good thing is, sangria refreshes as much as it delights, which is why a liberal amount is always recommended. Enjoy responsibly.
