We so enjoyed our visit to Curacao in November. It is a lovely island to visit. While exploring Punda, don't miss the Floating Market. All along the Sha. Caprileskade, just around the corner from the Handelskade, you will find one of Curaçao's most famous and picturesque sights. Venezuelan merchants selling their fresh produce from small fishing boats. During the days they spend on Curacao island between their trips to and from Venezuela, their authentic fishing boats double as living quarters. Nearby on the plaza Jo Jo Correa there is often a small artisans' market featuring local crafts.
