Bonaire

Today was the perfect day for us! Arrived in Bonaire at 9:00 and we wasted no time and headed right off the ship. Our plan for the day was to spend the day st a beach and snorkel. We took the 1 1/2 mile walk along the water front to Eden Beach.  We grabbed two front row lounge chairs and umbrella for 5.00 per person at Spice Island. It was a very hot but lovely walk, I wasted no time getting into the water, it was like swimming in an aquarium! We spent 5 hours swimming snorkeling eating and enjoying local beers and rum punches! From our lounge chairs we had a front row show when a huge pod of dolphins swam by, what a thrill!We walked the 11/2 miles back to the ship, saw some huge iguanas along the way, dropped out stuff off at the ship and headed back out to walk around the markets. Bonaire is known for their salt, so I had to purchase some Bonaire Sea salt :) we enjoyed another lovely dinner with our friends, tonight the waiters brought the birthday cake for Dave that was to have happened last night, guess he gets to keep celebrating :)
