Another slooow overnight transit from Aruba to neighboring Curaçao which has a similar history of colonial development. Except that Curaçao has been, for the last 90-100 years, a major spot for refining Venezuelan oil. A much more varied population and economy. Our day in Willemstad was spent wandering the streets; no off-road tours, no scenic rail or bus tours. The Dutch colonial buildings are well preserved, and the floating market and City Market both gave ample opportunity for photos. We sampled the local beer, some Venezuelan beer, and Curaçao blue liqueur. A relaxing day.
