Bonaire Slave Huts -1
We were on a Royal Caribbean “Navigator of the Seas” cruise that made a stop in Bonaire. Visiting Bonaire was a first for us so we looked for ideas on Cruise Critic. A popular thing to do is to rent a golf cart for the day from Bonaire Cruisers and explore on your own. This sounded good to us so months before cruise time, we made arrangements to rent a 2-passenger golf cart.
So, once the ship was cleared, we walked the short distance to Bonaire Cruisers, signed the usual release forms, gave them some money, received information about driving on the island, and off we went with a map in hand.
There were two scenic loops suggested for us to tour. We decided to tackle the “Southern Loop” which is shorter and goes by some things we wanted to see. Let me say right up front, we DID see a flock of pink flamingos but they were way off in the distance, too far to photograph.
We were told that simply DRIVING the loop would take 1-1/2 hours so, obviously, a few stops along the way could stretch that out to 2-1/2 to 3 hours which is exactly what happened to us.
The longer Northern Loop takes 2-1/2 hours to drive which meant 3-4 hours with some stops. We were pooped and decided to forgo the Northern Loop for next time. So we dropped off the golf cart and headed into town for some lunch and a little in town sightseeing. We had heard about a liquor they make on the island out of cactus so I bought a bottle of the stuff for my son.
As you’ll see in the video, we encountered a lot of wind making for a really bad hair day. At one point there was an ocean spray mixed in with it that made in impossible to see through our glasses. Fortunately, we had a bottle of water with us to clear some of it off our glasses.
The 360 video clips were taken with a GoPro Fusion. Still images were taken with our iPhones.
Background music is track 5, “Live For The Dream” from the “Jazzmasters V” album. This is the first time I selected background music with vocals.
