Oranjestad, Aruba

Beach very beautiful and shopping fair. Dissapointed that taxi would take us to donkey rescue but was not available to bring us back unless we paid for them to stay and wait for us. That made me nervous so we missed out on that. I suggest buying an excursion if that is what interest you. But it's timely and costly to buy an excursion to go there if your not interested in doing other activities on the itinerary.

Willemstad, Curacao

Did not do excursion, only walked around and took taxi to beach that was only fair. People not as friendly as in Aruba.
