Travel updates and interesting activities
This morning we had a nice tour of the mangroves and snorkeled in them as well. I am still not a good kayaker, I prefer my canoe. I can’t paddle a kayak straight to save my life. Interesting tidbit of information I learned today, the mangroves are tsunami 🌊 buffers. They also house a lot of …

Today was our kayaking and snorkel trip. Once again, it was fun. Snorkeling in the mangroves was my favorite part. The mangroves provide a nursery for baby fish and other marine animals. The mangrove trees provide shelter for the baby fish and they add some fresh water, so mangrove water is brackish. The water is …
It’s actually sprinkled a couple times today, it feels very light. We went snorkeling by Kline Bonaire which means little Bonaire. The boat ride was slow going out and coming back. I’m not sure if they were just trying to make it last the 3 hours advertised or what. The reef at Kline Bonaire was …
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 …
This was a really funny promotional video about the Dutch Caribbean! The Dutch have a sense of humor!

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! 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 …
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 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 …
