Early arrival to Curacao this morning

One more island to visit. This time we arrived to Curacao that is 42 miles east of Aruba and 35 miles north of Venezuela. The capital of Curacao, Willemstad, is also called little Amsterdam and I do not wonder why... It is a beautiful little city with Amsterdam-like houses with hundreds of shops. The cruise ship was able to dock very close to the downtown area and there is a bridge between the downtown and the cruise ship. There are approximately 170.000 inhabitants in the island of Curacao.

We really liked the downtown area and had a nice cup of coffee by the water. Three hours of walking was enough to explore the style and pricing of the island.
