Aruba

Staying on the Carribean theme, another great island has got to be Aruba. Immortalised forever by the Beach boys in their song "Kokomo" everybody knows the first few lines of the lyrics...


"Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take ya..."



Aruba is only 32 km long so seeing it is simple, hire a scooter, find a few willing hangers on and set off for lunch somewhere.

Rock formations on the beach(Snorkelling is awesome)

Compared to the rest of the Carribean Aruba is quite sparsely vegetated and has more of desert like climate

The Shopping mall! We found a restaurant that uses Nandoes chilli sauce(Iguana Joes)

Local cars-A hoot

Aruba is part of the kingdom of the Netherlands but the Dutch influence is not really felt at all.

Hope you all have an awesome weekend.

If you looking for something different to do Sunday evening(22nd April) we are starting off the Winter Jazz sessions featuring Chilli and Lime. You can get all the details here or here. Just click on the relevant dates. Se ya there.

South of France, awesome place. Gonna do a huge post on the Monaco grand prix soon. Also done Villefranche and Nice. Malta was awesome. Looks like something out of an Indiana Jones movie.
