Curacao November 2022

In Curacao, we Re-lived our misspent youths and partied like it’s 1997….
Had to be dragged off the dance floor and home to our cabin by B and Z after we crashed a party on Papagayo Beach, Curacao

Barnaby and Zennor completed their Open Water dive course. This makes them third-generation divers, following in the enormous footsteps of their Uncle Jules and Grandad Neil who were commercial saturation divers. I know that they too would be super proud.

Willemstad is the capital city of Curacao. The city is known for its colorful Dutch colonial architecture, which includes brightly painted buildings in shades of pink, blue, and yellow. The historic center of Willemstad is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

One of the most famous landmarks in Willemstad is the Queen Emma Bridge, also known as the “Swinging Old Lady.” This floating pedestrian bridge connects Punda to the nearby neighborhood of Otrobanda and swings open to allow ships to pass through the harbor. A great time was had watching the bridge open and close and once with us still on it.
