Aruba đŠđŒ
Hereâs what we got up to in Aruba. We took a bus tour around the island, a tour we almost missed due to miscommunication on where we were being picked up đ© but on this tour we saw a lot of đ”, we also visited the ruins of the gold mine, and the beautiful light house. We learned a lot about the everyday life in Aruba, and we also found out a lot about the weather and how it affects their ability to grow local produce like fruits and veggies.
Aruba wasnât your typical âCaribbean islandâ there werenât stereotypical markers available like fruit trees everywhere for example, but much like curaçao all of their cultural influences are seen in their housing, their people, their language etc.
Aruba was beautiful and unique and Iâm glad we were able to experience it.
Fun fact: if youâre a fast food lover Aruba has all the popular fast food chains like McDonaldâs, Burger King, Cinnabon, Wendyâs etc!!!

Curaçao is such a beautiful country, it was so interesting to see each part of their cultural identity present, especially in their architecture. This country is filled with art, everywhere you turn whether itâs on the buildings, art installations, dancers in the street, street concerts, or theatrical reenactments of their history, the culture is rich.
Two fun facts about đšđŒ :
-They speak 4 languages, English, Spanish, Dutch, and Papiamento!
-The famous Alcolado Glacial âalcaladaâ that can be found in any Caribbean home is made in Curaçao! and we were fortunate enough to visit their factory on island.
