It seemed impossible but it happened: Riu Palace Aruba opened their doors on Friday, July 20th, 2007.

If you walked in front of resort the last days before it opened, it looked like they needed months of work ahead to finish it. Two days before they started to put asphalt pavement and one day before the landscaping in front of the lobby was being put in. On opening day, Friday, the walkway pavement was being cemented and painting was ongoing.

You’ve got to give it to them, they made it. Maybe minor work still needs to be done, like cleaning the area of construction debris.

Above you can see a picture on how it looks like at night.

Some reports suggest that higher fuel prices might bring a surge in ticket prices in the air travel industry this summer, yet again.

Let’s hope it doesn’t effect your travel plans to the southern Caribbean. You don’t want to miss a nice beach, like the one shown in the picture.

Recently I posted a comment about Aruba’s world famous Natural Bridge. I also posted a picture of the fallen Natural Bridge from an angle. I came across another picture of the fallen Natural Bridge.

Above picture shows the fallen bridge from up front. There is a nice transition from the top to bottom: sky, water, remains of the bridge and the sand. All that under a cabana hut to make it more tropical.

This classic Aruba sunset is a picture taken on the west side of the island, along the miles of white sandy beaches. Classic! If you search online for an Aruba sunset that’s what you will get.

I do it differently here however. I like to show you Aruba’s beauty from another angle. Along the coast of Savaneta the above picture was taken. Nice, isn’t it?

Aruba’s world famous natural bridge collapsed on September 2nd, 2005. Estimates put the collapse of the bridge early morning, around 4:00 am. This early morning nobody was fisically present to witness the fall of the bridge.

It was a big shock to the people, there was no immediate reason for the bridge to collapse. According to some, back in the 90’s the bridge suffered some damage. In a natural way, the bridge cracked on one of the sides. Seemingly the bridge could handle it, because no big piece fell or any other visual damage was noticeable.

The fact is that the Natural Bridge is no more. Have no fear, Aruba is host to many other natural bridges. There are at least 7 natural bridges around the north eastern shore.

The first picture shows the collapsed Natural Bridge from the side. The second picture shows the Baby Bridge. This is the name given popularly to a natural formation of limestone that is shaped like a bridge. This bridge can be admired at Wariruri.

Picture shows setting at Flying Fishbone

On Aruba there are many restaurants with a beach setting. This means when the tables are on the beach and your bare feet are resting in the white sand.

One of the best restaurants that offer this setting is Flying Fishbone. This restaurant is located at Savaneta. The name of this beach is Savaneta Beach. It is a very quiet beach, with a very calm and relaxing sound of water. This restaurant is located on the south side of the island and is approximately 30 to 45 minutes away from the major resorts.

A closer alternative to the resorts is Simply Fish, located at the Marriott Resort. Nice setting as well.

Aruba is an island of white sands, blue/green water and frothy waves that offer to visitors a landscape picture-perfect serenity.

Normally the water of sea is uncolored but the color blue that our eyes see is because it reflects the blue sky. From a scientist point of view, this color is produced by a phenomenon called Dispersion which means that the sun light is separated into colors by refraction or diffraction with formation of a spectrum. However, some seas look like green because of wide variety of algae that it posses or gray if there is a cloudy day.

If you visit Aruba, you will never see a gray sea, in contrary, you sure see the most tropical blue/green beaches in the Caribbean.
