Island Adventure in Aruba

In the morning, we travel out to the private island owned by the Renaissance Hotel, where we are staying.  The shuttle boat to the island leaves from the hotel lobby, cuts through the hotel, and heads across the bay to the island.

We are welcomed to the island by the local wildlife:  flamingos, lizards, and pelicans.



Welcome to our island

We stroll over to the beach, pick some chairs, and settle in for a few hours.

After a little rest and relaxation, we swim in the lagoon and take a few pictures from the water.

Back on the beach, we wander a bit, then take the shuttle back to the hotel.

For dinner, we head over to Pelican Pier for fabulous shrimp, grouper, and key lime pie.

Tomorrow, it's time to get on our ship and head to Cartagena, Columbia.
