Aruba’s Arikok National Park occupies approximately one third of the island’s land mass. Recently, the road through the park has been upgraded. Portions of it have been paved with asphalt. The entrance at San Fuego, shown below, features paving blocks.
The park hosts some interesting wildlife, including the burrowing owls shown in an earlier post. There are trails to hike as well. Just take plenty of water, a good hat, and your walking stick. The fellow at the booth mentioned that the roads would be completed in “about a month,” which would mean around the first of April 2009.
Enjoy nature responsibly and bon dia from Aruba.
That’s Kent holding the fish. One happy guy on one happy island eh? Judging by Kent’s reaction, I would say the fishing can be good in Aruba. There are a number of boats to be hired by the day or half day. They can be found in the main harbour at Oranjestaad as well as at several marinas around the island. Again, I’m not an expert on fishing but Kent has a smile, which has to count for something.
Doesn’t that water look nice? Really, it is that blue.
You can hang out in the shade when you’re not in the water. You and ten of your friends. Or go get a snack at the following place:
And finally, here is a shot of the masonry wall just for eye candy.
Enjoy your day at Baby Beach. Don’t forget the sunscreen, big hat, and plenty of water. On your way to your accommodations, why not stop by Charlie’s Bar for a beverage and plenty of fun? Sure, it’s the right thing to do.

And finally…
The water is that blue, that clear. An acquaintance of mine, (Kent, master snorkeler, fisherman extraordinaire) checks the sea life here on a regular basis. He tells me there are plenty of creatures to view. I’ve seen the photos that prove it.
