A quick getaway with my sister for some tropical fun-in-the-sun in this southern Caribbean island.
We’re here! This Dutch Caribbean Island is home to 151k+ people, coral reefs, beautiful beaches, and an official language called Papiamentu, a Creole language based primarily in Portuguese & Spanish. It is also spoken on their sister islands, Aruba and Bonaire (aka The ABC Islands)Lots of “blue”💙 in the drinks! Of course! Curaçao is the home to Curacao liqueur, created when a local figured out how to use the rinds of the citrus fruit known as laraha (similar to an orange)Preparing a mid afternoon snackCrazy for coconuts! 🥥 🌴 Sunset from our balcony Day 1Sunset from our balcony Day 2Incredible dinner at Gouverneur de Rouville. We started with spicy banana soup and then shared the Caribbean Chicken and the Keshi Yena. The latter is a traditional Curacao dish – cheese stuffed with chicken, onions, olives and prunes. It was out-of-this-world delicious!Walking through a rainbow 🌈 Queen Emma Bridge, Willemstad, CuracaoThis pontoon bridge was originally built in 1888. It’s been renovated 4 times and the lighting arches were added in 1955🔒 ❤️All the locks of love!❤️ 🔒 Such a great word. Dushi in Papiamentu means sweet, nice or good. When there are roses, you stop and smell them. When there’s this on your walking path, you stop and swing!
