I just booked my first trip ever to Bonaire. Just to bad it's 139 days to go. The webcams are great. I'm checking in all day and just wished I was there :-) But the good thing is that when I'm going in december it's going to be cold and snowy here in Norway he he. Anyway just wanted to say hi to everybody and maybe some of you will be there in the beginning of dec!

Kate, welcome to the madhouse. Diving in Bonaire is only slightly different than Norway, let's see the visibility is only 10 times better, the water is only a little warmer, there's only a little more to see and the tides are measured in centimeters vs. kilometers, and there are no currents so you'll just have to do without.

:-) :-) :-)

Hi Cecil, you have now idea how much I look forward to leave the drysuit at home:-) Have to say that there is loads of good diving in Norway but it is more hard work. Have a fantastic sunday

You're right! I thought it was parrotfish poop.
: )

Has anyone else noticed the rolling rock effect on the Bongo cam? Sometimes the rock looks like it's rolled in front of the steps - then it's back where it was.

Hi Carole,

Hi, again, Ilona! Looks like a scene from "The Time Machine"....have you ever seen that movie? The tracks in the sand are similar to the tracks from the Time Machine when it was moved, too! LOL. I think I can see the "culprits" with the lounge chair behind the palm frond! That was a long way to have to drag the chair! LOL. It looks like someone was doing the same thing at the Beach Bar Cam, too...hmmmmmm. Caroletracks

I won't be around tomorrow as the computer doc is coming to try and sort out these infernal machines. Scanner don't work, printer don't work, camera don't work, network don't work the list is endless. Oh and xp keeps freezing on me. So what's new. LOL Annie B.

Yeah :-)
By that time they will probably be holding me .

Did I mention before that I have picked up weight lifting again ???
Doing "dumbell drops" with 15kg = Amber
Doing "quadriceps reps" with 10kg = Alexander (you're a plane , you can fly!!!)
Doing "Biceps curls" with 15 or 10 kg , which of them two I am holding up at that moment.
Doing "push ups" with 15kg , because Amber somehow seems to think that "horses" have to lay flat on the floor before you can mount them :-)

Conclusion: "Who needs a Gym if you can do your Work out at home:-):-):-)"

Jos. If they were only to spray the area with an insectiside, it would keep those buggers away. Didn't get one bite in Dominican, 'cos they sprayed morning noon and night. Now Corfu is a totally different story. Those little whatsits were really nasty. Annie B.

We just returned from a two week trip that began in Bonaire and ended in Aruba. Diving in Bonaire spoils you! We stayed at Captain Don's and had a wonderful time. It was our first diving trip and look forward to next year.
While in Bonaire, we found the webcams and had told our family to watch on Wednesday, 7/7 at 3:00 for us and to save the pictures. They were "too busy". I just checked and several other people have them posted.
By the way, the "ears" guy is Steve not Bob!
Thanks for posting, it made our day to come home and see that SOMEONE had recorded our efforts to take over two hours to find Eden Resort and wait till 3:00 on that hot day!
Thanks again.

Hi Sherry :-)

you look like you were having fun !!!

BT community is soo worldwide spread , there's probably 24/7 someone watching and posting .
Just show up , wear a sign , get posted :-)

Wear a gimmick or a gadget and you will be double posted or triple :-):-):-)

What did the signs say ???
It takes a little adjusting before they show up readable I guess .
