Oranjestad features a convenient marina located just across the street from a major hotel/casino complex.
You’ll find all kinds of boats, both large and small here. For those interested in fishing, you’ll find charter boats for hire. Then there are the yachts that I have posted before. In the distance, you’ll see the bow of a cruise ship along the main wharf. Finally, don’t be surprised if you see a tugboat or two loitering.
Bon dia.
I’ve posted several views from swimming pools here in Aruba. Our next one comes from the Divi All Inclusive in the low-rise hotel area. Take a look.
Not bad, eh? This is a great location to watch the inbound ships. They pass fairly close to the beach on their approach to Oranjestaad Harbor. Of course, you’re there with a cold beverage, maybe a good book and a snack, too. Either way, it’s hard to beat Aruba’s beachside pools.
Bon dia.
If you have the cash, consider cruising in high style, as in chartering a yacht like the Silver Shalis. Here she is, as seen right before she picked up the hook in Oranjestaad, Aruba.
Nice ship, eh? Aruba sees numerous yachts of the class throughout the year. If you remember, there was an earlier post about the Boardwalk. Whatever your method of travel, be safe.
Walking Palm Beach on a Sunday morning in Aruba, you may find some ambitious sculptors at work. Some photos have been posted before, but this one is probably the most impressive to date. This fellow created a beautiful cathedral using nothing but the sand from the beach.
When we arrived on the scene, he was putting the finishing touches on one of the wings. Let’s go in for a closer look.
This creation has all the majesty of the real thing. The fellow who made it has a very steady hand because those open spaces had to be carved out and one slip would have sent the wall tumbling. The sad part is the sea will wash it all away. Still, a beautiful presentation while it lasts.
Bon dia.
