Twizy excursion with RoadRunner-Bonaire

[ColdCruise]

We had a short port day in Bonaire (6-2). Due to our late booking, by the time we started to inquire about snorkeling trip from local providers, they were booked up. There were 2 ships in port, us (NCL Sky) and Celebrity Equinox.

 

we pre booked an excursion with Mandy & Hans of http://roadrunner-bonaire.com/  to drive their Renault Twizys sightseeing. The Twizys can seat 2 people, one behind the other, but we elected to each drive our own Twizy. All the other people did 2 to a Twizy, I don’t know what the view from the back was like. The all-electric Twizy was fun to drive - normal (albeit smaller) steering wheel. Payment is cash only, $20 deposit and balance due at end of ride. BRING CASH!
 

 Mandy providing instructions 

We disembarked our ship and walked over to the Celebrity where several tour operators had tents set up and located Mandy under the Road Runner tent. After the other people arrived off Celebrity, we walked over to a clean newish van and piled in for the drive to Mandy & Hans’ house. Signed waivers, then got instructions and keys to our Ttwizy.

 

 

 Andy led the way and we fell in behind, single file convoy style, the Twizys are street legal and licensed so we blended in with traffic. Everyone is regular cars were great and often adjusted their driving which allowed us to stay together at intersections and turns.

 

The route took us through several neighborhoods and out a development of million dollar houses where we got out and were able to take some photos while Mandy provided interesting info.

 

 

after this we went along the coast to 1,000 steps and a chance to use a port a potty or get a drink from a local hung out a bit watching divers and swimmers then mounted up to head to the flamingo lake (maybe a salt marsh). Drove through a wildlife preserve then a couple town until, we arrived at a cactus distillery. Had some samples, time to use the restroom then a long drive back to our starting point.

after the Twizy part ended and we paid, people had a choice of returning to their ship or being dropped off at a beach for snorkeling or swimming.  Sue to our early departure at 2 pm, we went back to the ship, as did most of the Celebrity pax. One couple chose to go to a beach and agreed on a time when Mandy would return to pick, them up and take them to their ship. We got back to the ship with enough time to look around the local stalls before all-aboard.

 

this was a fun, non-beach activity. Road Runner Bonaire ran a very professional operation, we didn’t get to meet Hans as he was doing another excursion. They offer regular sightseeing trips as well as kayaks and other transportation modes. The owners are German transplants to Bonaire and speak excellent English and some other languages (I’m sure their German is get😜)
