After the second week in Aruba, we rented a car for a few days. We moved to a quaint Dutch motel for two nights. They supplied a wonderful dutch style contenental breakfast each morning at an open air restaurant where the birds watched diligently for a chance to share our breakfast. Our room was supplied with a king size bed and we had a table and two chairs outside the room which overlooked the motel restaurant, beautiful grounds and the Carribean sea.
We took our rental car around the south end of the island and toured some caves in the military artillery area. This freaked us out a little but later we found out they put up a flag and posted an armed guard when they are using it for military practice.
We saw wild donkeys and goats on our travels. There was a neat chapel built into caves on two sides of the road in one area. The caves we toured were awesome. A government tour guide showed us indian paintings and stallactites and stallagmites and different types of bats and cave crabs inside the caves.
We are now at our third timeshare property (Divi Village). The grounds are beautiful here, tropical folliage surrounded by a golf course. There are three pool areas to use, one has a swim up bar and infinity pool.
This week we went on a boat to an all inclusive private island where we snorkled with tons of colorful fish, dark blue parrot fish and rainbow fish and lots of other fish. There was a really fun waterslide park on the island that we went on. We had lunch and dinner on the island, the restaraunt was in the Carribean ocean which was very cool. We could feed the fish from our table.
We went on a catamaran sailing adventure as well this week. We snorkeled and went snuba - ing at three sites, one over a WWII German war ship wreckage which was very exciting. We swam with a lot more different types of fish here as well.
Yesterday we toured the Aloe Vera factory. Aruba is one of the largest exporters of Aloe. All their packaging and harvesting is done by hand.
Signing out from Aruba for now.
Dream Weavers out.
