Snorkeling at Rocky Point, Aruba

For all the years I’ve been visiting Aruba, I had not heard the term “rocky point” used to describe the area near Baby Beach, behind the former Esso Club. Whatever the case, two people went snorkeling there and only one came back. Beyond that, not many facts have been released. Here’s a video showing the conditions at the so-called “rocky point.”

Would you snorkel there? I wouldn’t. Baby Beach, with it’s beautiful cove and soft sand would be where I started. The Rum Reef Bar and Restaurant is located at the former Esso Club. Part of that operation includes a dive shop. Best to inquire there about a good place to snorkel.

Bon dia.

Driving to the Hollywood Smokehouse, Aruba

Finding the Hollywood Smokehouse Diner in Aruba is easy, especially if you can vicariously drive there. I made the following video because people have been asking EXACTLY how to get to the joint. Put on your glasses and take notes. Use the HD function if you want the best view. Here we go.

Now you’re all set. When you arrive in Aruba and have a hankering for quality BBQ at very reasonable prices, all you have to do is fire up the fun machine and get on the roll.

Bon dia.

Driving to King Ribs, Aruba

A few days ago, I posted about the food served at King Ribs in Oranjestaad, Aruba, DWI. Lots of people have been asking how to get there. Thus, I made the following video to show the route from the hotel area on the main highway. Check it out:

Now you know how to get there. Enjoy the food and don’t eat too much!

Waterspout, Aruba

So, I’m looking out my front window in Savaneta, Aruba, and see a menacing storm cloud to the south, looming over San Nicolaas. Winding down from it was a waterspout. I made this short video, which isn’t my best, but you can see the little twister.

I’m just glad it lost steam and faded away before it got near my house. (Sorry about the spelling error in the title slide. It is SAVANETA.)

Bon dia.
