Hi, Scott, I, too, am really enjoying your reports! Makes me feel like I am right there with you. Where was the villa? It sounds very similar to one we stayed in on Kaya Turkesa up in the hills. After a few trips up and down the hills we eventually were able to make it without having to turn around or go down another street to find our street! That's part of the fun, tho....getting "a little" lost and finding your way home. Do you have any pics you can post?? Ayo. Carole

Hello Carol,

Scott...I do believe Kaya Topaz and Kaya Turkesa are in the same area. We used to look for the Deep Blue Inn and the water towers and we knew we were going in the right direction! LOL. I think Kaya Turkesa is just about the last street up on the hilltop. Gorgeous views up there but we felt a little "vulnerable" with the layout of the house we were in...the bedrooms were attached outside OFF the main house...in order to gain entry/exit the bedrooms you actually had to go outside by the pool and then gain entry into the "main" portion of the house via different locked doors. No connecting doors between the main house and the bedrooms. With the activity of late on the island I don't believe we would consider this particular house/villa again even though the house, itself, was absolutely gorgeous and the pool was luscious. It had a separate structure in the back of the pool area you could climb up the spiral staircase to a platform with a roof which overlooked all of the western side and southern/nortern sides of Bonaire and Klein Bonaire. It was breathtaking.

Carol, now that you mentioned it we did notice a lot of old cannons being used for decoration. I'm sure Kaya Topaz was the lowest street on the hill because it was all green below us almost down to the coast. I could see Sand Dollar grocery with my binoculars. And I land-marked those water tanks more than a few times also, don't remember seeing the Deep Blue Inn though. The villa you described, I remember seeing it online, and we had considered it, may not have been available, I can't recall.

Carole,I know the exact house you are talking about. My friends rented it last New Years so after dinner at Lion's Den we headed over there for the fireworks - that structure was PERFECT for viewing the fireworks all over the island AND over in Curacao. But it is very strange.
