Beautiful island but very poor. If you have no experience driving in 3rd world countries, don't drive.

Oranjestad, Aruba

Aruba is my favorite island. We took the jeep excursion and I think the way they drive is crazy stupid. They should be allowed to jeopardize the safety of their guests. Don't take it. The scenery is beautiful but you can't enjoy it because of the irresponsible driving.
