days off...

Saint Tropez Beach Club

Jan Thiel beach

By snorkeling you can see fish just like ripped out of Finding Nemo, but watch out-you get sunburned!

like Ruben.

Rrrrrrrrramba!

Happy Hour at Zanzibar :)

 Outside my house...

 My flatmate

     Our porch

Aruba :)

Since I still have some days before I start my clinical I decided to go to Aruba. 

just me and the beaches...

 Bon Bini 

welcome :)

On the bus...

 This was my room. An apartment all for myself.

And Im ready for the beach

 These things look like really ripe bananas. 

 but inside they are totally yellow. and they dont taste like bananas either. 

blæh!

Eagle beach

 There were no eagles but these funny birds.

They dived into the water all the time like they just dropped from the sky. maybe its refreshing, I dont know. 

 the sand was so soft!

and the water so nice!

On Aruba there's a lot of Americans.

  

 They are not exactly hard to spot.

 I tried the local food. not bad. everything made of may corn.

 but ordering pizza is not a bad idea either.

I went for a guided trip by horse in the natural park. 

In the background you see Andicuri beach, its a very beautiful remote beach and popular for surfing. big waves!

 This was my guide. He kept stopping on the view points to take pictures of me ('camera please'). I got tired of it so I started  taking pictures of him instead.

On the airport..

Going to Aruba, the neighbour island, I had some time at the airport so I took some pictures, even though its not really allowed.

In the Carribean you have to pay airport tax that comes in addition to your ticket. except with klm because it was a Dutch company and the dutch do not allow it, as it makes the ticket seem cheaper then it actually is. 

so that's 65 dollars extra for me (both ways). 

The famous Curacao-drink. comes in all colours. Apparently the blue kind tastes like gasoline.  

All kinds of coconut-candy

and a whole lot of phone booths

My snacks for the wait, banana chips and chocolate covered coffe beans :)

so here's the thing, hehe. we got on the airplane, it was driving 50 meters and then we were told that the aiplane was not flying after all. we had to go back and wait another hour for the next one. I have a feeling this happens more often.. 

But I finally left Curacao...

 ...and got to Arrrrrruba!
