Creator's Key Takeaways
We almost missed this spot right by the Curaçao cruise port — and it ended up being one of the best things we did all day.
This port is very walkable. Curaçao is you could get right off of the port and walk around. Super. I I've never not felt safe.
It was nice. It takes about an hour, you know, going slowly. Um, but I mean it was nice. I I I don't know. I don't I wouldn't do it again. That's just me.
Simply an amazingly beautiful day today. Those are all the shops down there that we were at. Look how beautiful today. 88°.
