<\/a>Look closely for the 4 foot iguana<\/p><\/div>After lunch today and since it looked like there were no rain storms coming, we decided to go where we tried to go last Saturday — to the lighthouse on the easternmost point of Bonaire. So we traveled almost to the Lagoen, then headed north and east on some
<\/a>Boka Spelonk lighthouse and keeper's house<\/p><\/div> dirt\/mud\/rock ‘roads’ to get to Boca Spelonk.<\/p>\n
The lighthouse looks like it needs several good coats of paint, but the keeper’s house needs a whole lot more. It looks like some of the upper story wood floors have
<\/a>The house looks huge, but it is only about 30 feet long and 10 foot wide.<\/p><\/div>been removed, probably not with approval! The walls are covered with slime — YUCK! For perspective, the window in this end of the house is less than 3 feet wide<\/p><\/div> Just north of the lighthouse we came across this herd of about 8 wild donkeys.<\/p><\/div> Most of the east coast is like this. You don't want to trip and fall, which would be so easy to do!<\/p><\/div> When we first saw this, we thought it was a HUGE conch shell! It turned out to be a rock.<\/p><\/div> This was a real conch shell that was embedded into the rock and is now being exposed as the rock erodes.<\/p><\/div> We trailed north along the coast to join the road to Rincon. Just before reaching it we found several of these strange 'mushrooms?' growing in the middle of the road. This one was about 9 inches tall.<\/p><\/div> This is about the only vegetation that we could find growing on the coastal rocks.<\/p><\/div> Looking into the cistern of an old kunuku (farm) house. You can still see the rings on the wall showing water levels. The wood is from the old cover over the cistern.<\/p><\/div> An old abandoned kunuku (farm) house. Rain water ran off the roof into the cistern at the right. This was probably their only source of water.<\/p><\/div> Construction involved carefully stacking rock, then applying a coat of plaster.<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n When we went swimming this evening we saw and interesting site. A woman floating in an inner tube wearing a floppy hat and reading a newspaper. How did we know it was a woman? We saw her doing the same thing a week ago and were surprised to learn it was not a man when she got out!<\/p><\/div>\n We should have put this in this morning's blog. It is looking down from the cross on the hill toward the city of Kralendijk. Just off the coast is the small uninhabited island of Klein (Little) Bonaire.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/a>
