Kralendijk; Bonaire

    
Bonaire is a very pretty little island and the town where we are on a mooring is lovely. The water is beautifully clear and there are plenty of fish around the boat all the time. The bottom is clear at 8-10m below the boat. The people are very friendly and everyone can speak good English. There is a mix of old and new buildings around with many modern flats along the waterfront. There has been a lot of activity as the large cruise ships pull in here and disgorge their load into waiting taxis and the streets of Bonaire.  We have had some lovely sunsets over the island in the bay called Klein Bonaire.
On our walk around we came along this fellow sunning himself on the rocks. Not as colourful as the tree Iguanas from the BVI's, but just as handsome.
There are over two hundred species of bird on the island including some lovely parrots. We hope to see as many of them as possible
