Curaçao Continued

Floating Pontoon Foot Bridge

Curaçao is one of those places you’ll never tire of visiting.  If you’re a photographer it’s just that fun.  But, surprisingly for a Caribbean island, the ABC Islands (Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao) is incredibly dry.  Go into the interior of the island and you’ll find flora more associated with a desert  — cacti, mesquite, prickly shrubs, and grasses brown with thirst.

Ostrich Ranch

Desert Shrubs and Cactii

If you’re wondering why you would want to go into the interior, there is a rather unique ostrich ranch worth the visit.  Once you get back to Willemstad, however, you’ll once again find yourself practicing up on your panorama skills as the Old Town is perfectly lighted by the late afternoon sun.
