Willemstad, CuraçaoClick on the thumbnail picture for a bigger view and more information. Curaçao is a fascinating mixture of cultures: Dutch, Spanish, and English. The main city, Willemstad, is separated into two parts by a channel that leads to a large inland port. Connecting the two parts, Punda and Otrabanda, is a unique pontoon bridge, that swings open often during the day to let ships pass through. During those frequent times, a pair of passengers ferries cross the channel. At an old colonial mansion, Chobolobo, the original Curaçao liqueur is still distilled in 100 year old bins. |
