<\/a><\/p>\nThere is no public transportation system here on Bonaire, something we got so used to on the small island of Carriacou. With a population of 16,000, we are amazed how everyone get around. There really are not a lot of cars.<\/p>\n
This island is known as \u201c Diver\u2019s Paradise\u201d, and it really is. The shoreline is dotted with dive sites,marked with yellow stones. Divers and snorkelers, don their gear, then slip into the calm, clear blue water. Bonaire is a dream true of great visibility, lack of current, and, warm water temperature, the lush reefs and dazzling marine life are found right at the shoreline.<\/p>\n
We rented mopeds to explore and see some of the sites. High on the list, was to find the mascot, the pink flamingos. In the north, there is a national park, and a lake, where they are supposed to hang out, so off we went. The flamingos get their colour from the\u00a0 red carotenes in their diet, the rosy brine shrimp are abundant on the salt flats where they live.<\/p>\n The road travelled along the water overlooking the shore then through the small town of Rincon before along the east side to the main town of Kralendijk, and back to our mooring. We finished off by stopping by Bachelor\u2019s Beach, just south of Flamingo International Airport and having lunch. We will leave the southern section for another time.<\/p>\n Honeycomb Cowfish\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 French Angelfish<\/em><\/p>\n Yellowtail Damsel\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BlueTang<\/em><\/p>\n Four eyed Butterflyfish<\/em><\/p>\n Stoplight Parrotfish\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Spotted Filefish\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n Spotted Moray Eel\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Porcupine fish<\/em><\/p>\n Great Barracuda<\/em><\/p>\n Spotted Scorpion fish ( venomous<\/strong>)<\/em><\/p>\n We enrolled in a Fish Identification Program, every Monday night, so these are a sample of some of Muriel\u2019s photo\u2019s so far.<\/p>\n Number of View: 0 There is no public transportation system here on Bonaire, something we got so used to on the small island of Carriacou.
