As we are safe during lockdown in our vault(i mean home, lol) i thought iβd take Sarah back to last year to her amazingΒ βCaribbeanΒ Bonaire Birthday BlastβΒ πΒ
π§πΆ Tropical Delights Tour: Day 3 Kralendijk, Bonaire
Today was the birthday excursion for Sarah. It was a second choice as the first choice was sold out weeks before weβd even started our cruise. We were thinking about the 4×4 Land Rover trip weβd done in the Azores(see here) but couldn’t really get excitedβ¦As it was much hotter here and the thought of being crammed in the back of a Land Rover really wasnβt doing anything for us today. So what we thought was going to be an anticlimaxβ¦Turned out to be the best trip of the whole holiday! Oh and iβd just travelled in my best vehicle of all time! πΒ
The 1961 Yellow Unimogβ¦
Awww friendsβ¦.Let me introduce you to this Yellow, 1961 Unimog…..have you seen the tires, lol! It threw us around like crazy and i still can’t believe that he didn’t slow down for anything. There is no way a vehicle can hit rocks, huge pot holes, climb cracked hills and go around tight bends whilst travelling at break neck speed, it would have destroyed anything else and left them in a pile of spare parts, lol. I’m not sure they issued these with brake pedals! π

Arawak Off-road Safari…Β
Β First, we Β climbed into the Subi Rincon hills, where the amazing yellow Unimog stopped at a set of time-worn Indian caves.

Β Bertrand was our fantastic guide, and even better rally driver, lol. He said he had a PHD(pot hole dodger) although he didnβt dodge anything but drove straight over everything which made the ride so much funβ¦We were all hanging on for dear life!! π Β

Β The Bonaire Donkeyβs…Β

the beauty spot, Seru Largu. This cross-topped monument sits on a raised platform, setting Sarah up with panoramic views of the capital, Kralendijk.

Β Back at the ship…

After the incredible and mind bending ride in the Unimog, we quickly went onboard and had an iced coffee before heading out into the town to see what goodies we could find.
Yay, we managed to buy another bauble for our Christmas treeβ¦Oh and i bought another bright and colourful shirt.
Β
The Evening Meal…
Β
We had a lovely Italian meal and the highlight for Sarah were the sugar free Profiterolesβ¦Now that was a fantastic ending to an even greater day!Β Happy Birthday Sarah!!
