Everybody take note, that is how you take vacation pics. haha
Looks like you had a good time man. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for looking! We had a wonderful time and didn't want to leave. I needed this trip. I feel so recharged now.
Beautiful pics!! Would love to travel there someday.
Thanks! Hope you get there someday. It's our favorite Caribbean island.
How the heck do you eat whole red snappers?
Otherwise looks nice.
You never had whole red snapper?
You're missing out! But if you're not a fan of eating whole fish, they also have filet of fish. This is slice of wahoo fish. It was my first time eating wahoo. It tasted lot like mackerel.
But I highly recommend the whole red snapper. It's actually pretty hard to order that at Zeerovers. Whole red snapper sells out fast and you usually have to go during lunch or late afternoon if you want the chance to eat it. All other times, you can only get the slices of the catch of the day which is usually slices of red snapper and not whole, mahi-mahi, barracuda, or wahoo. I've had it all and the whole red snapper is by far the best.
Perhaps you're more regular fish and chips person. We had that at Cafe 080. $12 fish and chips platter along with $9 flammkuchen. Another cheap restaurant we ate at. Aruba is an island so food is normally pretty expensive but there are plenty of bargain places if you get away from the crowded and expensive Palm Beach area.
I didn't see yours, but these suck! How do you go to Aruba, and not take one bikini pic?!?
I generally dislike crowds. Plus I'm not a creep.
Nice pictures. Looked up Aruba on wikipedia, and I'm not convinced. Is there local culture that gets routinely experienced, or is it an isolated tourist spot that could be on an oil platform for all intents and purposes? Hot and dry isn't really my thing, but being on the ocean might help. Looks a bit like Australia without the animals from hell, though wikipedia does say they have rattlesnakes. Critically endangered, with <250 animals left.
I don't go to Aruba for culture. I go for the guaranteed sun and wind weather, beautiful beaches, and the friendly Aruban hospitality. It's a tiny island and you can drive from one end of the island to the another in about an hour. If you don't like hot and dry, you probably won't like Aruba. It's always the same weather there year round and the wind blows constantly 15-25 mph. But because it's out of the hurricane belt, you never have to worry about hurricanes like you do in the rest of the Caribbean islands. And there are no horrible seaweed problems in Aruba like you see in Florida, Mexico, and parts of the Caribbean. If you're not familiar, massive seaweeds on the beach and in water are huge problem in Florida and Mexico.
Nice thing about Aruba is that since it's so windy all the time, you don't feel as hot as long as you can find shade during the day. And free shade is easy to find on the beach. There are numerous trees, palapas, and huts that provide free shades. And once the sun goes down at night, it's nice to be able sit and dine outside at restaurants and enjoy free air conditioning from the 15-20 mph winds. It's perfect weather to sit on the patio or balcony, relax, and drink some cold Chill or Balashi beer.
Very windy. 15-25 mph winds 24/7 is the norm there. Some people hate the wind. I love it. Because of the wind, I can be at the beach all day under a shade and not feel hot. I love taking naps at the beach in the shade. And at night time, the wind is wonderful. It's like free outdoor air-conditioning. You can sit for hours outside at a bar and feel refreshed.
