Bonaire: Keep your eyes peeled for flying flamingos!

We rented what we believe to be the crappiest rusted truck on the island (it usually took around 4 attempts to start and would max out at 40 km/hr!) We drove around the island looking at slave huts, salt mines and did you know that pink flamingos can fly? Two flew right over our heads as we drove the South side of the island. They’re really rather awkward looking with long necks and legs in a straight line. We weren’t camera ready at the time so this is one of our new missions on Bonaire. On the far side of the island we had lunch at Rose Inn in Rincon. The goat stew and grilled fish where great but I don’t know what the blocks of brown and yellow goo were on the side? Turns out the yellow one was a mixture of pumpkin and polenta and still not sure about the brown one but Tony ate all of it anyway. If you are planning on going there please bring cash because they don’t take credit cards or IOUs ;-)
