so we pulled into Wilemstad in Curacao on Easter Sunday, yeah that makes sense... I would guess it was about 50/50 on stores opening or closing, oh well. We did find a nice Dutch cafe open at Plein Wilhemina so that worked for lunch, and amazingly a rum house around the corner! Went another 2 blocks and found the fresh fruit and vegetable floating market, HEAVEN.
so here you go, a brief look at Wilemstad, it's a pretty big island...
