happy monday

Good morning and welcome to another wonderful week in 2012. I often say that I miss Europe or any big city for the wonderful nights out and parties one can have there (as to say that here on the island it some-times feels as if we are somehow missing out on that). I have to say that yesterday I was one of the lucky ones to enjoy an amazing party on the water. Boats from Aruba and Bonaire joined us in Curacao for an epic Fuikdag. I danced for 6 hours on a yacht to great music (this boat has a sound system that should be in a night-club), surrounded by great people and of course delicious champagne. Today I miraculously woke up full of energy (ok, I was in bed by 9pm, exhausted) and enjoying all the great pictures and video's people are sharing. If ever you have a chance to be in Curacao for Fuikdag, I am sure you will have the time of your life as well. Today it is back to healthy eating, getting loads of work done and simply enjoying. 
 Have a splendid week.
Smile loads.

off to fuikdag





Fuikdag. 

If you are one of the regular beach go-ers, then you are probably heading to Fuik in your lovely boat... however there are quite a few people (I would say the majority) gets in there in whatever floating devise they can put together that weekend. Fuik is usually a quite bay along the East coast of the island. (as seen in the second image). One day a year this is transformed to a huge beach party, bringing together people from the surrounding islands (and anyone able to find a boat ride to the island, as getting there by car is seriously difficult). 

Hope you are having a great weekend as well.  
With loads of laughter, dancing and smiles.

West Punt, Curacao 


This weekend was happily spent at West Punt. Just relaxing with the sound of the waves always in the background, eating delicious food, swimming in the gorgeous crystal blue waters and taking the Saint out for a ride along the coast. Curacao is a relatively small island, yet the one hour drive still seems like an eternity as it brings you to a world of peacefulness. Early in the morning as the sun is slowly coming up, the fisherman make their way for their daily catch, the vast blue ocean, in all the possible shades, lies before them. It is a lazy Sunday morning, quiet, with only the sounds of the birds in the background. We "relax" (also the name of the house where we are staying....quite appropriate), on the gazebo while having breakfast. It is nice to notice that time somehow stands still on such days.

Hope you had a wonderful weekend as well.
