At tugboat beach today. A tugboat sunk here and is now an underwater attraction. A lot of snorkelers and divers here. They have a n art area here you can make your own painted souvenir here. Cool idea. Dominos seems to be the game of choice here.

So saw this bottle on the shelf. Turns out it is vegan free. I didn’t know vegan free was even a deal. Does that mean no plants were harmed in the making of this rosewater?

Willemstad is really nice at night. On Thursday night they had the last Punda vibes. A lot of music set ups and people dancing. Lights were awesome on the Queen Emma bridge. Watched a cruise ship leave the pier for the first time as well.

Cruise ship named Norwegian Epic cruising past Mambo beach. Holds about 5074 passengers. Leaving the isle for eastern locations.

Great dinner at St Tropaz tonight. Perfect atmosphere. There were a lot of people out and having Christmas cheer.
