      Hi you live in curacao?
      It doesn't seem there is agricultural land. How you get grains and foods?
      What type of job people do there?
      Love from India.

    Very nice!!
    I visited the ABC islands just before the pandemic broke out via cruise ship 🚢 ….. I walked the same path you did but opposite as I started in the cruise terminal…. the hidden beach 🏖 was awesome and we had it to ourselves!!
    You mentioned how expensive the island 🏝 is but it’s actually the cheapest out of the 3 ….. I would love to return one day and spend more time exploring!!
    Thx for jogging up some memories!!!!!

    Why narrow homes? Back in the sixteenth century, Dutch authorities levied taxes from citizens based - among other things - on the width of their houses. The results were predictable.

    Incredible! Such colours!! Back in the old days, you paid tax based on your 'street-front footage'. So the more narrow, the less tax. Skinny and tall was the way to go! It is why Amsterdam's architecture is the same, but also Saigon due to the French influence/architecture. Beautiful work you two - spectacular. Grant in Australia

    Nice video guys. It gives a good image of how it is there. I have been a few times in Curacao because a friend of mine went to live there and i visited him. If you guys want to do a nice snorkle ask for a place they call Tugboat. There is like a shipwreck of a small boat and it is only about 5 meters deep there and it is very close to shore (50 meters) . Perfect for a good time underwater. It was the first real dive that i did when i had my PADI with a friend. We rented scuba equipment, we drove to the beach, put on or scuba suit and just walked on the beach and into the water. The most relax dive i ever did haha.
    I also remember there was a place somewhere where small boats from Venezuela arrived that sold fruit.
    Have fun and keep Jumping ;)

    • @JumpingPlaces

    I stayed just down the street from the Scuba Lodge and would walk by it several times a day. I completely forgot that was a hotel until I saw this. Nice to see it's still around. The neighborhood doesn't seem to have changed much, aside for the manmade beach, which was only being started when I was there. They had a picture of what it will look like when it's finished. I recognized a lot of the places in this video. Unfortunately during my visit the fort and yellow building were being remodeled. That's cool that as Portuguese speakers you can understand Papiamentu. If I'm not mistaken "Curaçao" is also Portuguese and means "heart".
    Looks like you missed some key sites though. If you ever go back you should visit Berg Altena, the Synagogue, Kura Hulanda Museum, Hato Caves/Indian Trail, Fort Beekenburg, Landhuis Kenepa, Cristoffel National Park and Playa Lagun.

    Not been to Curacao but have visited Aruba three times, there appear to be similarities between them. I would definitely return, but as you mentioned they are more expensive compared to other Caribbean Islands. Don't know if it is the same there but in Aruba they used to put the prices up in the Capital when cruise ships visited.

    If you pause the video at 8:27 you can see a connon ball stuck in the wall near the top left of the building, between the two white stripes. It was fired from a British royal navy ship called the “HMS Theseus” in 1804.

    Great caribbean island and I've been there many times! Do check out the natural beaches where you can snorkel and see beautiful fishes north of Willemstad (Blue Bay, Cas Abao, Porto Marie, Kleine Knip and Grote Knip) all the way to Westpunt. The other side of Curacao is rougher but beautiful as well. Over there check out the Shete Boka (water blowing through the rock formations). If you're interested in culture, do check out the Savonet house and from there you can walk up the Christoffel mountain on a clear day beautiful view all the way to Venezuela. And Kunuku House is very interesting as well. Don't forget Spaanse Water just south of Willemstad (go SUP boarding there). If you like to party, Mambo beach is the place ;) And for a tropical paradise island experience, go to Klein Curacao island.
