Curacao is a much larger and more tropical island than Aruba, however there are not nearly as many nice, public beaches. More jungle...less beaches. Interestingly, the usable beaches are privately owned. We wandered around the capital city of Willemstad and found it much more alluring than Oranjestaad, Aruba. Multi-cultural with upscale shops as well as the "birds and beads" stores aimed at the tourists. There is a floating, pontoon bridge that gets you from one side of town to the other. The bridge swings open when it is necessary to let boats into the port area and while the bridge is open they use ferries to take people across. We were lucky enough to use both...just another "island adventure, mon!" It was fun...but...we have now been there, done that...and...I got the tee shirt!
