Bonaire 2024

 

Monday 9 September 

It is time to go abroad and outside Europe for a holiday. It has been 12 years ago since I flew abroad. This time I am going to Bonaire (Netherlands Antilles). First time visiting this island. This afternoon I am flying off. Wish me luck the flight will go smoothly! 🤞👍😉😃

Tuesday 10 September 

Bon bini Bonaire! With a 12 hour flight (and a stop over in Aruba & an hour delay due to maintenance on the he aircraft in Amsterdam) I arrived safely in Bonaire. Customs was easy and fast. My suitcase came pretty fast. The cab was waiting for me, so I was pretty fast at the hotel. After check in I went straight to bed. I didn't sleep that well. But at 6am I woke up and got dressed. Went for breakfast. In the morning I walked around at the area of the hotel. Afterwards back at the room to chill. And spot some birds and butterflies.

It is a hot and warm day today: +34C and humidity. There is a wind but a warm one. At one point I went for lunch. Sandwich meatball and a drink. It was yum! Once done, I went for a relaxing afternoon on a loungbed under a parasol. Reading, drinking.... I had the first mocktail of the holiday: virgin coconut. At one point it was too hot, so I went inside the hotel room and chill furthermore till dinner time.

Around 5.45pm I had dinner: lumbus with fries and salat. Followed with Dame Blanche for dessert. During the meal sunset was really pretty. When I finished dinner, I went back to the room to relax.

Wednesday 11 September 

Not much happened today. After breakfast I went for a swim in the ocean. Really great! Once I was done in the ocean, I relaxed for the rest of the day. Drinking, eating, enjoying the sun, reading...

Friday 13 September 

Yesterday and today nothing much happened. The same routine of waking up, having breakfast, spend about an hour in the water, laying on a sun bed to dry/read/drinking, having lunch, do siesta, having dinner, rest some more and go to bed and sleep.....

The day before yesterday and yesterday there was a big cruise ship in the harbour. Did not take a picture of it. But it is no surprise these boats are visiting Bonaire.
