Today was to be the day when Podge found the ideal tour for The Duchess, it was an excursion to view the Bonaire Flamingos and the Salt Flats of Bonaire (Picture from BonaireSeaSalt.com), a journey through the lush mangrove preserves towards the beautiful south-east of Bonaire. To be honest, I suspect Debbie had no real interest in the Salt Flats as her primary interest was seeing the pink flamingos. 🦩

Sydney; The land of Sun, Melting Tar, Wind, Thunder Lightning & Rain
And we were only there for two days and a night.
This is an epic: I make no apologies: Sydney is, after all an epic city.

Until I mentioned it, The Duchess had never heard of the existence of Pink Dolphins and no matter how much I tried to persuade her, she would have none of it. So, all I could do was to book a cruise that would take us from Barbados down to the mouth of the Amazon and then upstream all the way to Manaus (The capital of the vast state of Amazonas), a distance of about 1000 kilometres. While there we would embark on an excursion to a jungle lodge then known as Ariau Towers ( no longer operating 😦 ).

Today, we’re back to Curacao for the 2nd time this cruise so we chose not to take an excursion. Mrs Me therefore decreed that we should walk into town to see the swing bridge that everybody kept going on about(!) and of course, look at some shops. Bought some heirlooms (otherwise known as tat by the children) and Debbie bought the first ever pink girlie article (clothing) for our new granddaughter. It turned out that the clothing was actually too small as our new granddaughter had grown quicker than we had realised, mind you. she was only born 3-weeks before we left and we were away for 6-weeks so we weren’t really that surprised.
