After a bit of driving around we finally found Den Baraku snack bar. It has the best funchi we have ever had and their beers are super cold. It was a perfect Sunday afternoon.
This snack bar is in a local area that is one block from the mansion and compound of Don Andres. He is the shipping magnate that is responsible for all ships coming into Bonaire.Den Baraku is in the middle of Papiamentu neighborhood. We had trouble ordering and a nice guy helped us with the Papiamentu words we needed to order funchi and eat it at the bar: "Asa funchi kome aqui". The bartender and cook only spoke Papiamentu. We love the funchi which is fried polenta with a sweet chili sauce.
We were watching a televised game of the Netherlands and Germany play field hockey. Next to the TV, we noticed a clock that had all the continents displayed. The ABC's were shown in black marker dots. Too funny!You can see three dots on the top of South America just off the coast of Venezuela to the right of the "9"...that's the ABC"s.After four beers and funchi we were happy campers. Great way to spend Sunday afternoon.
I need to know what funchie is.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice relaxing Sunday. The funchie sounds like it might be pretty tasty. You two are looking nice and relaxed. (i.e happy campers)
