Other colorful streets of Willemstad.

p.s. I’m not sure were those houses on renovation when I was visiting Curaçao years ago; maybe now everything look completely different?
In my memory, entire Willemstad is full of colours.

Willemstad has characteristic colorful buildings,
and even some streets are so nice.

This long pontoon bridge is something really unique in Willemstad.
I took plenty pictures of this bridge, when it’s open, close, with clouds, during sunsets, etc. 🙂

When I was in Curaçao, cruise ships were visiting the island from time to time.
You could see it immediately, because suddenly the calm places were becoming busy and noisy.

-Oh crab.
Oh, another one.
Wait, crabs are everywhere! Wow! 🙂

There are a few species of iguana in Curaçao.

You can find some interesting formations on Curaçao.

Well, “sushi” in Papiamento (Papiamentu) language means “dirty” or “waste”. 🙂

Curaçao has three official languages: Dutch, Papiamentu and English.
Spanish is also widely spoken.

How do you like the number plates from Curaçao? 🙂
