What a beautiful island!! The people were so friendly and the atmosphere was quite relaxed. The people speak papa pimento, which is a mixture of Dutch, French and Creloe. It was quite amazing that these people spoke four languages fluently. They were taught papa Pimento in school, but at home and amongst friends they spoke Dutch. They could also speak Spanish (being so close to the Spanish speaking South America countries) and English! How amazing is that really! The water was amazing and Bonaire is well famous for its diving. We went off Snorkelling for an afternoon but it was quite windy, making the sea state a bit choppy. We only stayed for a couple of days before heading off to Columbia. We may of stayed a few days longer for a break before setting off, but you could not anchor in the water, you had to use one of the marina’s mooring buoys which was 13 quid a night so we thought we would give it a miss.
