Another rainy day was forecast so we decided to do a road trip up to Westpunt on the northwest corner of the island with stops along the way.
Our first stop was at Lagun, a little community with a small public beach. Mary was able to do some "shelling". If she doesn't do some shell culling she'll have to pay for an extra bag when we fly home.
From there we drove on to Knip with its small public beach. This was Avery beautiful little beach with lots of sand and some strong currents.
Just past the beach we stopped in at Landhuis Knip to see it's museum. The slave uprising start here, led by Tula. The uprising was short lived and did not end well for Tula and the other leaders....decapitations and such.
On we travelled to Playa Forti, just outside of Westpunt. This was a rocky little beach but there was a restaurant there high on a cliff which overlooked the water. We stopped for lunch and Mary was able to find another Blur Curaçao drink...a Blue Sprizz.
The rain started picking up so we continued on the circle route back to Willemstad with a brief stop at the turtle exhibition in Christoffel Park. We were headed to Punda for "Thursday Night Vibes" with a parade, music, Happy Hour and fireworks all on tap. This is a taste of what's to come at their carnival in February.
