This was our second trip to Bonaire, following a wonderful experience last winter. We had another great vacation. We took Air Jamaica from Baltimore via Montego Bay, had an uneventful flight (the best kind) in both directions. I’d recommend them highly. We stayed again at Happy Holiday Homes, had another wonderful experience (thanks Louise, Kitty, and Mel), I’d also recommend them most highly. HHH has several Toyota twin cab trucks, so we rented from them directly (most painless car rental ever). No crime problems encountered, although the general level of cautions and warnings from everyone seemed more intense than last year. We recommend sandwiches from the Sandwich Factory and ice cream from Lovers (just north of the roundabout) and Prisca’s in Rincon. We liked Beefeaters the best for dinner, but also enjoyed dinner at Liberty (on the other side of the Cultimara parking lot), an inexpensive restaurant run by folks who don’t speak much English, serve true local food, and are very friendly and pleasant. We enjoyed the evening Carnaval parade a lot, and the general air of excitement pervading the island while we were there. We drove through the park one day; the roads were being repaired and were closed past Wayaca (supposedly due to open soon), but the part that we saw was beautiful, much greener than last year. More standing water meant more mosquitoes, but also flamingos on the side of the road between the airport and town.
