OYstar!

Well they say "The World is your Oyster"... so this blog serves as my record of my travels, adventures and challenges on my mission to find pearls in this Wanderful World! Now I fully understand that along the way to search for pearls of wisdom.. we must overcome the encounters with the annoying grains of sand that are so irritating when they get into your shoes... But if you stop long enough and take the time to dust them out properly, then you just might be able to continue walking comfortably again in your own stride...!

Carry go Bring home! This Carry go bring come home, bring misery! This is so true - but still I think the idea of a unified Caribbean is a GREAT one and should not be ignored.

The ABC Islands of the Caribbean of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao are located east of Central America and North of the coast of Venezuela. Island municipalities of the Netherlands formerly known as the Netherlands Antilles until the dissolution on 10th October 2010 when Bonaire became a special municipality, still part of the Netherlands. Also one of three of the BES islands in the Caribbean (Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba). Bonaire has a total land area of just 111sq miles with a population of only 20,000 approximately many of whom are Dutch nationals.  The National Dish is called " Stoba Kabritu" which is Papiamento for stewed goat meat. Goat meat is the  national dish of Bonaire  simply because of how many goats populated the island . One of the unique attractions on the island although not open to visitors is a Flamingo wildlife sanctuary... Which can be viewed and photographed from the complementary coloured, pink sand beach nearby. and also the similarly Pink coloure...
