We arrived in Curacao around 7:30 am under cloudy skies and
77 degrees. Curacao is known for its
cultural strengths. Most are descendants
of Spanish, Portuguese, French, English and Dutch settlers in addition of
several native tribes. Several colonial buildings are considered to be UNESCO
World Heritage monuments.

| The bridge pivots at one end allowing it to open for boat traffic. |
