Oranjestad (O~ronge-ja-stat) ~ The Capital of Aruba
Coming into port is the most “beee..ut..tee..ful” water ever seen ~
As we are docking the rain starts, the first on our trip. This island is full of shopping, cars, buses, people and bldgs.
It is humid here as well but nowhere near the other countries, maybe the rain is helping. The Aloe Factory is closed on Sundays so we have canceled our booked tour of a 3 ½ bus tour with now 2 short stops. We opt for just taking in the sights, sounds and flavor of the country. Feel for those that had beach trips planned for today.
The rain starts again so we head to a covered porch eatery for a taste of the local Beer. It is 85* today. Later we enjoy the 'flavors' of the city. There is a lot of jewelry shops here, with every gem imaginable.
Dinner tonight is Rack of Lamb ~ we enjoy this so much as it’s hard to find at home!
It's been a very enjoyable 2 week cruise ~ highly recommended for those that are considering and just maybe you will be able to see Costa Rica!
