The third day in Aruba found us up in the Palm Beach/Eagle Beach area. Just a relaxing day, reading, sunning, playing in the water, and of course... eating and drinking. Oh and maybe an occasional hand stand...
For dinner, we went to Cuba's Cookin' and they had some excellent Sangria, as well as Ceviche and Mojitos (the Mojito's were so good, we actually went back another night just for drinks!) Below, the ladies tried in vain to imitate Carmen Miranda (she's behind us on the wall).
On Wednesday of the week, we went on a kayaking trip on the western part of the island, southeast of the airport (Oranjestad is just northwest of the airport). Todd and I did a 2-man kayak, but we didn't get any pictures of the entire day, for obvious reason (camera + kayak = disaster waiting to happen). SO no photos, but it was really fun on the kayak, and Todd and I "won" the race out to DePalm Island (we came in second on the way back... I blame the Aruba Arriba!) DePalm Island has a water park, snorkeling, and food. We had a good time there, especially on the water slides. Thankfully, Cooch snapped this shot below.
After we kayaked back, we went out to dinner in anticipation of a night out on the Kukoo Konuku. We randomly picked a place to eat, which was probably our first mistake. The second mistake was when we stayed, even when the waiter said their credit card machine wasn't working and they were out of chicken. (But thankfully, they had plenty of basil!) The Kukoo Konuku is pretty much just a drunk party bus, and you go around to different bars and drink and do shots. What could possibly go wrong??? Before dinner, below.
Next up... the Kukoo Konuku! THE BUS! It's bright. It's loud. It's got flashing lights and bass pumping music blaring from it. It's even got maracas.
The second stop found us with headdress on.
But then the guys felt the need to try them on... Kern looks possessed!
On the bus, there was more maraca and booty shaking. I think the "out of control" sign painted on the inside of the bus behind Kern is pretty appropriate.
This picture below was right after Kern got busted for trying to make out with the glass windows behind him.
Kern is notorious for making the best faces ever in photographs. People ask Kern and Todd if they were twin brothers ALL the time, and I can totally see in this pic why they would think that!
Stay tuned for the third installment of the Aruba trip, coming soon to a blog near you!
