Day 4 - Curaçao

We arrived in Curaçao and intended heading straight to The Sea Aquarium Beach by public bus.  Although it was Monday, it was a festival day so lots of shops were closed and the information bureau told us that the buses would be infrequent.  Some of our dinner table friends had mentioned getting a Caribbean bus trip which took a tour of several places and left you at a beach for a few hours as well as free beer and water on board.  When we left the terminal people were selling tours for $20 pp and we spotted the recommended trip with Irie Tours so jumped on board.  This proved to be a good move as taxis were charging about $15 each way I think and the tour included drinks and entry to Sea Aquarium Beach which would have been $3.50. The tour was good fun and we had a stop at the Curaçao drink factory and had some free samples and drank 3 beers each and a bottle of water on the tour bus so proved to be very cost effective.

The Sea Aquarium Beach was nice but we were a bit unlucky with the weather as it clouded over and had some drizzle.  We just stayed swimming in the sea so it wasn't a problem.  There was a cost of $3.50 pp for hire of sun loungers and that included a bottle of water.

Once back on board we ate by the pool and had burger and fries for David and I had hotdog, salad and fries.  Food was tasty and hot.

We had a late departure at 10pm so went back into Curaçao for a few hours to get some wifi and watch a bit of the children's parade which was nice.  We met the singer from the Crystal Room as we walked into town and had a chat - she's a lovely lady and commented how nice it was that there were so many keen dancers on this voyage.

We had a full table at dinner which was good and the feedback from the couple who had been to the dinner/cabaret the previous night was excellent so at an additional cost of £22 pp seems a good deal.

Tonight we went to the theatre to watch the Four Tunes perform (4 guys who had performed in the West End). They were excellent but I've seen them 3 times in the last 10 months so knew what to expect. We managed to sneak in the last half hour of dancing too before bedtime.
