Bonaire, an island municipality of the
Netherlands, lies off Venezuela’s coast in
the southern Caribbean. Its reef-lined coast
is protected by Bonaire National Marine
Park. Beyond its rich marine life, the island
shelters lizards, donkeys and birds within
its immense Washington Slagbaai National
Park, marked by beaches, lagoons, caverns
and desert-like hills.

WE WERE LOOKING FOR IDEAS FOR A NEW FLAT
WATER LOCATION OVER THE WINTER PERIOD AND
AFTER LOTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT, WE FINALLY
TOOK THE ADVICE OF THE HIBDIGE FAMILY (WHO
KINDLY LET US STAY IN THEIR STUNNING VILLA,
LACBAYVILLA.COM, OVERLOOKING BEAUTIFUL LAC
BAY) AND BOOKED OUR FLIGHTS FOR A FIVE-WEEK
TRIP TO BONAIRE OVER WINTER 2014/15. Little did
we know how special it would turn out to be, and that
we would spend the next couple of winters in
Bonaire, extending our trip a little longer each time.
We are currently planning this year’s trip as the
desire to return only gets greater and greater.
