Willemstad

Thursday was planned for visiting Willemstad, the capital of Curacao. It was a short 10 minute drive there. The first stop was the giant Curacao sign:
... followed by the Punda Love Hearts (metal sculptures covered in locks):
... then a photo op at the Handelskade, with its Dutch Caribbean architecture:
... as also seen from the Queen Emma Bridge, which swings in and out for ships:
For a break and treat, we had lunch at the Iguana Cafe, along the waterfront in front of the Handelskade:
