Boy, once you mess up, there is no way of fixing it. Sorry, webmaster, am still learning the fine art of skanning and posting pictures.

Nice shot Karl. Where is this located on the island?

That looks a lot like Willemstoren.

Sorry Glen, it's not Willemstoren.

You mean there is a “good” map of Bonaire? Where did you ever find it? The map the car rental agencies pass out pretty much only addresses the paved roads and a couple of the major unpaved roads. There were a couple places I couldn’t find or figure out how to get to because the map was so vague.

Scott - I'm looking at a Bonaire (Dutch Caribbean) "Official Roadmap with dive sites" Identified as 3rd Revised Edition. It was published by the Gerharts Group (a familiar name if ever there was one) and this particular one is identified as being "...compliments of Budget rent a car". It's as good as I've ever seen for the island. Probably printed around '93 - '94. Never had a chance to challenege its accuracy completely, but you might want to try to find one. It is copyrighted by Mapminded, The Netherlands. Worst comes to worst (and if they're still in business} they may have it in their archives. Have fun searching. It does, by the way, show an unpaved road to Spelonk Lighthouse. The fact that Igor says there's no road there may speak to the age of the map!!

Sounds like a treasure, hope I can find it!

Thanks Igor, I admit the road was on my map too, really the problem is figuring which road (or trail) is the one that’s on the map since only select roads are on the map and there aren’t any signs. I’m just going to have to try some of them next time and find my way. I couldn’t figure out which road went to the blow-hole just south of Lagoen either. Oh well, all the more reasons to come back another time.

Why bother with a map when ya got a treasure like Bas.....He knows his way around the island like he discovered it!

Hi everyone. I was away from the computer all day... and didn't realize that my picture of the Spelonk Lighthouse caused so much debate...
