We decided for our last day in Aruba we would rent a car, take it easy and just do whatever caught our fancy. So, Thursday evening, we went back to Amigo to pick up a rental car. It was a nice enough car, but I thought the brakes would fail at any moment, the screeching/grinding of the brakes was horrid! The next morning we jumped in the car only to find it wouldn't start! REALLY?! No brakes AND a dead battery?! We grumbled and walked back into the front desk and asked them to phone Amigo and for them to bring us a new car, PRONTO! We were asked if we had put the key in the ignition (duh!), turned it 1 notch forward, then pressed "unlock" on the key fob, then proceed to start the engine. It actually started.....and why weren't we informed of this Thursday evening? I'm glad we didn't have somewhere to be at a specific time!Monday's car had no such safety mechanism.
We stopped, briefly, at a windmill, I think it actually came from Holland. It now houses a gift shop, imagine that! At night there are white lights on all the blades, pretty, but I never got back there at night.
Some pretty Divi Divi trees on the edge of the ocean. I had wanted to get our pictures posing on them, but the lighting was not so great that time of day!
The water there was so pretty, but our intended snorkel spot was Baby Beach. This was right next to the highway and the airport and was quite noisy!
At Baby Beach, there is a beach shack where you can rent snorkel gear and also have lunch!
