Gorgeous Aruba & Barbados

Here we are in our rented jeep in Aruba. The island has a lot of off-roads perfect for vehicles like this.

Sublime waters of Aruba. Ever get the feeling you are being watched? ...Something just made me look down and I saw 100+ eyes belonging to these greyish crabs curiously peering up at me from the crags of the rock. I almost tumbled over in shock.

Free at Last !!!

Nightlife in Aruba

Next up was the island of Barbados. It was the first day that we encountered rain. We took a tour of the island and also spent a few hours on the beach. We took a small glass-bottom boat out into the ocean where we saw these giant sea turtles and a real-live shipwreck that was really cool. On the menu that day were some delicious curry chicken and beef rotis from a roadside vendor. I really wanted to try the flying fish, but nobody could resist the apeal of a freshly made roti.

Due to potential water damage to my camera, my pics on this island was unfortunaely limited.

Bet you didn't know that Oprah Winfrey owns a home in Barbados. It's one of these homes above. Our taxi driver just wasn't sure which one.

Meeting Ticos. He's munching on a cucumber. I didn't want to get too close as it looked like he wanted to grab my hair.

I've talked a lot about the food on the different islands, but the food on the ship was first rate. It was like eating at a 5-star restaurant every night.

Every meal was made into a tiny work of art- Even my fruit salad.

Here is Donovan enjoying his meal- can't remember what it was ??
