It is also an island in the Caribbean, just 65 kilometers North of Venezuela.&amp;amp;nbsp;It\u00b4s a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Which means that they speak Dutch here. And Papiamentu. Which is a creative mix of Spanish, Portugese, Dutch, English, French and a hint of Arawak Indian and African influences.<\/p>\n<p>We arrived late last night, after 24 hours of traveling. (At least 4 of those hours were spent in immigrations in diverse countries). Everything was pitch black when we arrived late last night, so guess how pleased we were to wake up to this sight outside our window&amp;amp;nbsp;(I\u00b4ve always had a thing for palms. They make me happy!):<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-20767\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/MG_0947-450x300.gif\" alt=\"_MG_0947\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" =\"https:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/MG_0947-450x300.gif 450w, https:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/MG_0947-150x100.gif 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\"><\/p>\n<p>This 444km2 big island has 155 000 inhabitants, and has only been it\u00b4s own island country for 5 1\/2 years.&amp;amp;nbsp;I\u00b4ll be here a week, and will share my exploration of the island with you. So far I\u00b4ve enjoyed the beach, like a true tourist (charging the battery after the long travel). It is also a very agreeable 28 degrees Celsius.
