Live from Navigator March 17, 2017 - Ship Faced Shamrock

[cbusbigred]

We may or may not have had our taxi driver take us to the McDonalds drive through today. I mean don't even try to judge us for wanting to have a Happy Meal on "One Happy Island!"

 

The last time I was on Aruba, we hit the Taco Bell drive through. In hindsight, that wasn't my brightest moment ...

For the amount of jumping into water I have had to do the past few days, my shamrocks are very well shaken sir. #doitforthevine #dopeoplestillusevine Sent from my iPhone using Forums

 

I just snorted wine out my nose.

Why are there no photos of Chicken McNuggets or Double Quarter Pounders with Cheese in this thread?

 

 

 

Because Dr. Ho is monitoring this board...specifically you two! :)

Word of advice...don't ever tell them you like it rough in Bonaire!

So I am on the Twizy Tour (electric vehicles capable of speeds of approximately 50 mph), which is offered by Road Runner Tours. I opted to do the full day tour, which included the North tour in the morning and the South tour in the afternoon. Total for both tours was $90 as a driver.

 

Here are some shots from the South Tour.

 

 

 

1000 steps is only 68 steps and is a very easy decent and climb back.

 

 

 

 

Mount Brandaris - highest point on island

The Cadushy Distillery - You may have seen a picture from here already. [emoji6]

 

 

 

Rum was great! $40 a bottle. Try a rum ball as well (only a $1).

 

Green stuff (from cactus) not so much!

 

Just had to throw this in for my ladies.

Last stop was Eden Beach, where you get about two hours to eat, drink, swim, and snorkel (Road Runner provides snorkel gear).

 

 

 

Spice Beach Club Menu

 

 

Bonaire Break

 

Road Runner will give you a ride back to ship or you can take the ferry back for $5 per person.

Sounds like a fun and worthwhile excursion and Bonaire looks FAB!

That's definitely not a tickler, just a big "prick-ler". :')

Looks like you are having a fabulous time!! We board the Navigator on March 31 for this same cruise and following along with you has been a great way to pass the days!!

 

If possible, could you see if you can find out the total cost of the beverage package with the D+ discount? Thanks!!

Your journal of naughtiness was promo on Taptalk.

 

Well, I am still with you😀

 

We will never get to Foreign Parts as it involves a Big Bird in the sky so cheers for letting us join along with you.

 

We are going to Scotland in a couple of weeks so bet you are jealous😁

[Frenchsnowhite]

This is a really nice review with tons of informations for each port! Doing this cruise next january and can't wait!

Do you remember how much was the taxi ride pp to Mamboo Beach and how much was it to access Wet &Wild Beach club?

 

thanks!:D

Editorial Retraction - Pictures posted earlier were from the North tour.

 

Thank you Chase for catching that.

 

South tour pictures will be up shortly.

Okay, South Tour. Let's do this.

 

First stop. Random photo opportunity, which I think was more of an effort to have us buy "the best" burgers on the island from King Kong. King Kong's people have not returned our calls to formally confirm this endorsement. I kindly told the couple running the stand that Godzilla was more of my jam and would not be a patron.

 

 

 

Moving on to the Salt Flats.

Third stop was the Slave Houses. Very sad to think what this property was used for, but in its abandoned state it makes for a beautiful site.

 

 

 

 

Going to stop here as I have to run to Chef's Table. I will finish up later.
