Regular readers of this blog know that Charlie’s Bar is an Aruban institution of sorts. The place is absolutely packed with left behind items. It’s difficult to describe so here is some video footage.
Charlie was a good friend and may he rest in peace. I made him a character in An Island Away because he embodied the spirit and sensibility of San Nicolaas, which is a town like none other. See you around there someday.
Here is a short video I made showing the drive to Baby Beach, Aruba. The video begins after San Nicolaas, at the anchor memorial. It then continues to a deserted Baby Beach. The best time to go is early in the morning when you can have the place to yourself, more or less. Take a view:
Ahhhhh, Aruba. Sun, sand, and surf! Enjoy.
Well, I’m back on the island of Aruba. And here is a video of the approach, aboard American Airlines flight 1047 from Miami to Aruba. The video begins with a shot of the northwest corner of the island and continues along the coast, showing Palm and Eagle beaches. Then you see the cruise ship terminal at Oranjestaad and finally the landing at the airport. See you there.
Bon dia!
I’m just learning this video software. Once I get it down, the quality will improve. In the mean time, stick with me on the learning curve.
