Our last night in Bonaire. Very sad. We rarely come back to a place but this is our second trip here. The island has changed in ten years. More population, more Dutch folks, more retirees. But also cleaner, fewer animals in need, definitely donkeys, and way less garbage. A few mountain bike trails dot the island as well. The reef is healthier than ever, sea creatures big and small are flourishing. It's nice to see. But we could do without the cruise ships docking. Yes, even on an island this small. But I'm sure it's great for business in town. Good and bad, give and take.
On our last full day we started off with a bit of caving. First visiting a dry (hot) cave, then onto one we could snorkel in. The picture is from the first cave, maybe I'll put some cave snorkeling ones up after our disposable underwater cameras get developed.
Next, we had lunch at Posada Para Mira, set atop a hill in Rincon. Wonderful breezes and goat stew for Tom. Captured these kids on the way, perched on an electrical box.
We drove up a nice big hill and took an island selfie. This is the flat part of the island behind us.
Tomorrow morning EARLY we will head back into the park on the mountainous end of the island to hike Branderis, Bonaires highest peak, before heading back to the states.
Bonaire, you still do not disappoint.
