Aruba International Film Festival

The jeeps departed from the lobby of the HYATT REGENCY HOTEL at a very early 8:00AM-

This proved rather difficult a challenge for some of us (Vanessa?) we had all celebrated rather late the brillant opening of the festival and  a very warm party by the beach.

This Jeep Safari, the island's most popular attraction, is the only way to access the Natural Pool and its refreshing, crystal-clear waters. We got to drive them taking turn for a wild fun!

As we bounced, twisted and turned through the island's countryside, known as cunucu in the local Papiamento, we passed the island's iconic California Lighthouse and the Natural Bridge, among other sites. 

A variety of wildlife was on hande (Aruban Deers ouch stinking sheep) as sunbathing iguanas. We were treated to the impressive vistas of the Arikok National Park, home to the island's two highest peaks, Aruba's emblematic divi-divi trees, the Natural Pool and much more.

Once we arrived at our destination, we could swim and snorkel in the refreshing waters of the pool. After enjoying a fresh snack, we all jumped into the Jeep refreshed, relaxed and renewed for the trip back to the hotel.

If you do the tour again, just make sure you get Eric Brown as your guide, he drives and leads the pack, while talking in the "on board radio" in each of the 4 jeeps, a non stop gross and hilarious monologue, detailing both true local customs, and macho stuff.

We loved it, Wendy Dent too!
