I have finally added the photo's from Willemstad, Curacao. It was a really pretty town with colourful buildings. It was dull and rainy in the morning, but it cleared up in time for us to leave. :)

They were great photos :D Doesnt look like it could ever be dull with all those colours :)

Thats an awesome looking bridge too. I love how it matches the towns colours :)

great colors!
would have been great to photograph on a bright day to really make them pop.

Apparently the mayor owned a paint factory and made it the law that they had to paint their building and couldn't just whitewash them. At least that is the story. :)

Next stop Saint Lucia.

Great pictures! What a fantastic cruise (I always wanted to cruise through the Panama Canal). The colors are amazing! Love it.

Great pictures Jan, It is sure nice to take the pictures from a ship looking at the cities, I think you capture everything.

Are you joking with us, or is that true? :confused: Whatever the reason, it sure is colorful!:)

That is what they told us.
