New Years

New Year's fireworks is a big deal on Bonaire much like most of the  countries around the world. I have always wanted to see the show from the water looking back at the coast line because it lights up with fireworks at midnight.






We boarded the Lady Bellais at 10:30 pm with about 75 others for a New Year's booze cruise. We had the best time.  Many of our friends came too! We cruised around the waters off Kralendijk's coastline.  We drank, we toasted, we kissed and watched the fireworks which went on for 2 hours. It was an incredible show.  Big, really big, fireworks lit up the sky from one end of the island to the other. Its was a magnificent sight.  We even managed to stay up until 2:00 am when the boat docked at the harbor.


New Years day started with our traditional orange cinnamon rolls, eggs and orange slices. Believe it or not, we didn't drink anything but water.













Happy New Year! We welcomed 2026 in grand style.  We hope all of you have a healthy and happy year.
