We stayed at Den Laman as we have in the past but this time booked the Tuna apartment which is on the north side and over the restaurant. I didn't realize it wouldn't get as much crosscurrent and so it was stiflingly hot and humid initially. But after a week of being here, we got used to the weather and spent more time on the beautiful terrace.
We made dinner in the apartment and it was great. I love being able to have home cooking even when away.
In the morning we took a swim/snorkel - it was amazingly freeing and easy to swim without diving gear! We even saw a porcupine fish. In general this year there were tons of porcupine fish and trunk fish, which I love. Not as many eels though. And not too many turtles on the West side. There were also not too many flamingos - maybe they're in the north (national Park) where they are not allowing diving.
I was happily surprised that the coral was in good shape despite at the bleaching events and the local SCTLD coral virus. There were so many schools of baby fish. Hopefully they will all survive the upcoming bleaching event predicted for this summer.
I ❤️ Bonaire.
Parrots love the tree next to Den Laman.
