    I agree. It is always important to learn the history of a place you are exploring. OMG I would love to be on the water right now! I love a nice quick tour when you are only somewhere for a short time period. That is great that there were plenty of tours lined up right outside of the cruise ship so you didn't have to look far. Looks like a cool place to visit! Thanks for sharing!

    Looks like a great stop for a cruise. We'd love to see the salt flats from above and up close as well as the flamingos. Also the windsurfing seems like a fun activity to do on the island there but it seems like a very difficult activity and requires a lot of prior skills and knowledge. Glad you were able to get some salt from there and enjoy the city center and local market!

Souvenirs are totally my thing! Bonair salt would be a lovely and useful thing to pick up. The salt flats and the slave huts are a must visit, it is important for visitors to learn the history behind the salt trade on the island.

    We were here 3 to 4 years ago and place was teeming with iguana, lizards, birds and fish. I was shocked to come back to so much over development. You can see the impact. Few lizards and fish have been impacted. Sad. When driving you see construction site after construction site. Reason why St John's is so beautiful. 2/3rds of the island is park land. Aruba was not a place I was really looking forward to however I will say the beaches and the entire place was packed with lizards and sealife. Would be a real shame if Bonaire just turns into one big condo and housing complex

    I'm not sure about the drone - you might be able to do a small one but the wind is so strong there I think it would be very challenging. It was very crowded in the bay that day. I don't use it in everything, but I enjoy larger flaky salt - I pass if the only option is table salt.
