We did our snorkel tour today at Klein Bonaire. It was beautiful! The beaches are white sand. The water starts out clear with the white sand reflected underneath, then it turns a bright, electric blue color then a darker blue as the water gets deeper. As you sail away from the island, there’s an incredible …

Friday in Bonaire with Bill!
Welcome to the Friday edition of Traveling with Emily!!

Scuba with Emily
We were up bright and early this morning for our scuba lesson. The scuba place had equipment for us, so we were able to go. It was a much better experience than last time, and I only sucked water into my lungs once during the training! It was easier this time partly because we had …
Happy Boxing Day with Bill
Happy Boxing Day! So we’ve spent another day on the island, we are well fed for now, we have water, today we did have to forage for our own lunch as we were not going to be at the resort during the 12:30-1400 time frame they allow for lunch. We ended up getting hotdogs and fries at …
4-Wheelers
We’ve had another busy day and I’m wearing down. Bill has a long update so I’m going to make mine short. I’ll add pictures with his. This morning, we took our scooter into town for some shopping. Bill needed a hat for our 4 wheeler tour this afternoon, we needed a backpack for water bottles …
Merry Christmas from Bill!
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 from Bonaire!!! We had an excellent day!! We didn’t have any set plans for the day, so we embraced the “caribe lyfe” as they say here and took it easy. Food here for breakfast and lunch seems to be the same things each day. I tend to have meats and cheese with bread …
Christmas in Bonaire!
This was a very fun, although weird, Christmas! Bill and I took the morning slow so I could recover from kitesurfing yesterday. I have mystery bruises in various places, but nothing serious. We went for a scooter ride downtown this morning but everything was closed. We’ll go again tomorrow so I can get a tea …
Day 2 with Bill
We only got to spend the evening here in Bonaire yesterday, the good Netherlands according to the local travel channel. It had a very entertaining spot about the differences between the Netherlands to the north and the Caribbean Netherlands. Not much happened yesterday other than landing at the Flamingo Airport, a tour of the resort, eating …
Kitesurfing
We had a fun first full day! After breakfast this morning, Bill and I set up some of our activities for the rest of the week. Places are pretty booked for scuba so we may not get to do that, but there are plenty of other fun things to keep us busy. We rented a …
