Not everything goes as planned

It was very rainy which delayed my start, but I decided to venture out regardless, starting with a viewpoint that overlooks the entire Bonaire. It was a bit scary driving on unknown roads flooded with rain, but it turned out okay and it was a very nice view with an interesting monument. After that, I decided to go ahead and see if I could get into the national park. The island is very green currently due to all the rain, so you'll see lots of plants mixed in with the typical cacti which makes it very beautiful. Unfortunately, the park was closed due to weather, so I tried to go to the bird sanctuary instead. Turns out that was also closed, so I drove along this narrow road that loops past a lake where I found more flamingos. Driving around in Bonaire feels like a safari adventure haha. It was nice driving along this lake and seeing the landscape, I like how a lot of Bonaire is untouched. After that, I wanted to try going to a beach I had saved, but the road was one way and it was too long to go all the way around, so another plan failed. But it was okay because the drive along the coast was gorgeous, then I looped back inside and headed in the capital of Kralendijk. I walked around there, looked at some clothes and other shops, got a feel for the area that has lots of restaurants and historical sites. Got a juice and then headed to the beach for a quick sunset swim before going home. Oh yeah, and I saw more goats!Meer informatie
