Bonaire is mostly about the diving and what’s under the water. It’s no accident that this is a top dive destination. But above the water is an eclectic mix of cultures. With only 14,000 people there are four languages: Dutch, English, Spanish and Papiamentu, and most people speak all four! Once again we found good food and wonderful people. The pictures make it clear where we spent most of our time.
