We arrived Wednesday morning in Willemstad and were docked at the port by 10 am. We had another time change yesterday and Paul didn’t get his cell time changed and we had our alarm set so we ended up getting up an hour later than planned. Fortunately we didn’t have an excursion booked until 1:30 so we still had lots of time.
After a quick lunch, we made our way to our bus for a trip to a couple of beaches. We headed for a 50 minute bus ride in an air conditioned coach. Our aim was the western most end of the island to snorkel.
Our first beach was Playa Grandi or Playa Pisado. It was the furthest but was chosen because of the likelihood we’d see the sea turtles. We saw a number while we snorkelled. We had about 20 minutes in the water and then back on the bus to Cas Albao where we had just over an hour. The water was clear and this beach had more coral where we saw a number of tropical fish.
Our arrival back to the ship was about 6 pm and the ship sailed about an hour later. Tomorrow we arrive in Oranjestad, Aruba and then 2 days at sea before we arrive in Miami on Sunday. Our flight home is Monday – we’ll be ready to return 🙂
