The third day of our cruise was spent in Curacao. It is in the far southern Caribbean very close to south america. We were supposed to go snorkeling that day, but as was usual for much of the vacation it was raining and it looked like storms were coming in, so it was canceled. We were pretty bummed about that, but we decided to just go to the beach instead. Fortunately after about 30 minutes of hard rain, it cleared up and was sunny for most of the rest of the day. Oh yeah and we got to see dolphins on the way back from the beach!
The afternoon we went downtown at the port and did a little shopping. We didn't buy anything, but have some great pictures of the architecture. The colors of all the buildings were so awesome. Then there is also a floating bridge that connects one part of the island with the other that has a motor in it and will just move out of the way when big boats come through. They even let you stay on the bridge while it is moving, which seemed pretty crazy to me. Here are some pictures.
