Back from a week in Bonaire with lots to tell. First, great diving as usual. But, the one bummer, a burgler. Wife and I arrived on Sunday September 28th. Got a pool side room at Captain Don's Habitat. Started unpacking, got hungry, wife was too hot to go eat. I suggested we go for a 10 minute swim there at the pool, steps away. So we lock the door, turn out the lights, close the sliding door behind us and take 17 steps to the pool.
In for a swim, 3 minutes later, my wife says,"I just watched a man go into our room". I tell her to relax, it's not our room(I was wrong). She then says,"look, he just turned on the light". So I jump out of the pool, run into the room, scream at this stranger. He looks totally scared, tries to push me out of the way. Then the scuffle/fistfight/ tackling/mayhem starts. While we go at it, wrestling, exchanging fists, my wife screams loud enough to summon about 25 guests and hotel security.
Bonaire police arrive less than 5 minutes later. I join the burgler in the car, we go to the police station, I give my testomony and he spends the night in jail.
Later we recover his cell phone and hat in our room, all get returned to him.
I wanted to share this. I love the diving in Bonaire. This will impact my decision to return.
