It was a beautiful day on Aruba and my first on shore excursion was excellent.
I had booked a tour of the island on this 4WD jeep for an off road experience. The guide was great and we got to all the highlights of Aruba.
First stop was the Casibari rock formation, the second highest spot on Aruba.
In the distance is the highest spot.
The Natural bridge used to be the most visited wonder on the island until it collapsed a few years ago. This is called the Son of a Bridge.
Learned about wishing rocks. Pick a number, stack that many rocks and make a wish. If the rock stack stays for 15 seconds or more your wish will come true. Trick was to pick a low number so the stack would be more likely to stay.
Found this little critter in the rocks.
Ruins of old gold mining processing facility. Only gold on Aruba now seems to be in the jewelry stores.
This is Baby Bridge, one of 7 natural bridges on Aruba.
Catholic Church originally built in 1700's.
Inside the tiny little chapel.
California lighthouse.
We stopped at this beautiful beach and had a very refreshing dip in the crystal waters.
Time to leave Aruba and head to the west and the Panama Canal.
Beautiful sunset off the port bow.
And another clever little towel creature waiting for me on the bed.
Ate way too much again but the food is so very tasty.
