Aruba with a view

Some people in the world is still relentlessly stubborn.
They just wont do like everybody else. They just wont get Facebook.

I actually like this, because just following the mainstream without ever questioning what is is that one does is often a certain way to misery...

I have taken quite a lot of pictures from Aruba, and I have shared them on Facebook. I did this not because Facebook is a good site, because it isn´t, but I did it because a lot of my friends use it and this makes sharing a lot easier.

But for those of you who still doesn´t and don´t want to use facebook I will also share a few pics on the blog. Aren´t I the kindest? :)


The scenery at one of the many high-level hotels in Palm Beach


Downtown Oranjestad. The many cruiseships that daily enters the harbour is not for everyone


And neither are these boats... But some day, when Aruba is mine, so will they be!



The Iguanas are many. Grabbing them by the tail is very hard, and if you succeed it will come loose... Dont ask me how I know that :)



For some reason Arubians has no electrical intelligence whatsoever. Cables like this are everywhere to be found... And they are especially frequent around pools...



The northern side of the island shows proof of Arubas volcanic heritance. Swimming here is not an option... Diving amongst the many shipwrecks could however be interesting for the experienced one.



The beaches of Aruba is white, long and often unexploited. Yet...



Nature is on the rough side. I do believe that I did not see even one bush that wasn´t thorny! Maybe that is because of the iguanas?



For those of you who despite things like gambling, beer, beautiful ladies and nightlife: Sorry, but Aruba is not the place for you... :)

Under the surface



When entering the water, one can find a whole world of life! The turtles are quite frequent. (Photo courtesy of Unique Sports of Aruba)

The weather on the island is great but a wee bit unpredictable... When the rain arrives it does it good. Really good.



The Divi divi tree is a landmark of Aruba. Harsh and with a lot of sharp branches to injure oneself on. Do not try to climb it... :)



Scenery from the northernmost part of the island, the California lighthouse. Shows one of the islands two golf courses and the highrollers residential area Tierra del Sol in the background. Expensive to say the least.
