Zaandam Holiday Voyage, Oranjestad, Aruba...

On our sail into Aruba, I went out on the forward decks to take some photos. It was a beautiful morning! The Church of Scientology ship, the Free Wind was notably absent from the pier on this visit.  Cathy and I went out, did some walking and snapped some photos.  We stopped at Starbucks, and I did some iPhone updates. I continued walking around the harbor and to Queen Wilhelmina Park looking for iguanas and birds. Heading back towards the ship we stopped at my favorite stores and added to my Tommy Bahama and tank top collection.  I can hear my sister now; did you need more Tommy Bahama shirts and tank tops???  Need isn’t a relevant criterion when buying something, is it?   It was a wonderful visit ashore, a good 5-mile walk and some nice scenery…  Spent the afternoon on the back deck soaking up some sunshine… It certainly was a beautiful sunny day with a lovely breeze. Perfection!  Another great day in the Netherland Antilles!!!
