Donkey sanctuary, snorkeling and mountain biking. That's what we've been up to the past two days here on Bonaire. Only two more left, and more things left than we have time to do, unfortunately. Windsurfing may not make the cut this time, there are just not enough days in a week!
Of course we visited the donkey sanctuary (http://www.donkeysanctuary.org/). They've done tons of rescue work, we see way fewer wild donkeys than we did ten years ago when we visited. We biked through the sanctuary this time. A great experience, donkeys are such gentle creatures. Take carrots if you visit, it's too much fun.
Next we switched back to snorkeling from diving and hit the 1000 Steps site. Tons of fish and coral in about 20 feet of water. We definitely like the freedom of snorkeling versus diving. Looking at fish from above will be just for us most of the time.
Next up, mountain biking in Washington Slaagbai Natl Park (http://www.washingtonparkbonaire.org/). We conquered a 21 mile route on dirt and gravel park roads with some serious hills and views. We will be back to hike there later this week. It was one hell of a hot ride...but satisfying.
Tomorrow we hitch a ride to a small island across the harbor for a drift snorkel and who knows what else, the beauty of vacation.
Break from Mtn biking the natl park, at a blowhole.
