I will be visiting Bonaire for the first time Nov. 6-13, staying at Bowker's Carib by myself.
If I get tired of diving, is there any good reasons for me to visit Curacao for a day - take a early morning flight and return in evening on Bonexel or whatever it is. Dosen't cost much, but would the trip be worth it for a little shopping, visit the floating market ( I love local fruit markets), etc.?

I find Curacao to be a great place to visit, however the parts of the island that I find most interesting take more than a day. Westpunt, Bandabou, Knip, the Land houses, the old synagogue, etc. need a lot more time. One day will get you downtown Willemstad with Otrabada and Punda for shopping and a visit to Cura Hulanda, however the nicer stores are all out town in regional shopping centers. Also, there are many places on the island that visitors should avoid. As for BonairExcel, they are not as reliable as before, so I would suggest using divi divi as they are more on time, however they do not fly at night.

Michael and I are in concert..Westpunt and Knip Bay with lunch at Jaanchies is a delightful day trip. I find a day trip tho, exhausting. It's not a mellow little airport like our own Flamingo.

Cheers..

I've moved this thread out of the Trip Reports section, since it's not a trip report.
