Hi everybody,
in stead of trying to remember everything when I get home with a serious case of the post Bonaire Blues, I decided to do an on island report this year.
so here goes:
20 Feb
We arrived with a 9 hour delay on the Island. The flight from Amsterdam to Bonaire was delayed due to a bird strike. **** happens, but KLM solved everything gracefully by providing a free hotel room and meals in Amsterdam.
Once we arrived on the Island we were greeted by Stanley, the taxi driver of Bamboo Bali Bonaire, who got us to BBB very fast.
Our first impression of BBB was that it had changed quite a lot since last year. The garden has matured even further and some changes to the lay-out have been made to improve the privacy even more. They also installed new eco friendlier A/C and they are in the proces of getting the jacuzzis to work.
We have been provided a rental truck from Bonaire Rent A Car, it works fine, except for the radio. This is quite a bummer for me as I really love the sound of Dolfijn FM while touring the island. (my husband is trying to solve this radio thingy as I type this.)
Furthermore we did our check in with Wannadive, the check dive will be for later today. We also visited Zung Kong to buy some necessary items as beer, gin, tonic, lime, ... You catch my drift
The day came to an end real fast while we were enjoying a few Brights at Karels Bar.
From there it went on to Rum Runners for dinner. Hubby had the chicken stew and really liked it. I had the Fish Fajittas, it was really nice, but a word to wise: they might be a bit too much to handle for one person... Phew, I was stuffed!
