You MUST do this in Willemstad, CURACAO

Hi everyone! This is episode eight of my Dutch Caribbean series in which I travel to Aruba, Curacao (Curaçao) and Bonaire. In this video, I explore more of Willemstad, the capital of Curacao and showcase what, in my opinion, are some of the must-do things in this beautiful city. As the thumbnail suggests, I will have some food, go to the beach and explore some sights! The vlog starts with me visiting a local food market and trying my luck with finding a stall that sells conch. I was recommended to eat this by a friend and I finally manage to find a stall that was selling it on that day. I also engage with some locals as well as another tourist who joins me for lunch. After lunch, I explore the colourful Pietermaai district. It was first constructed in 1675, so it is younger than Punda (which was established in 1634) but older than Otrobanda (which was established in 1707). I admire the mix of architecture and get an idea of how the locals live, as well as the hardworking Curacao population. I then head to Mambo Beach with a local bus and take a dip in the Caribbean Sea. I also try a local banana soft drink that I saw the locals drink in the food market. After visiting the beach, I explore more of the Punda area including a clothing shop and take in the sights such as the Queen Juliana Bridge from different vantage points. I also marvel at the colourful Handelskade from Queen Emma Bridge again. The vlog ends with me exploring the souvenir shops on the Otrobanda side of Queen Emma Bridge, as well as the Rif Fort that was built in 1828.
