Curacao, the C in the ABC islands is as beautiful as the rest, maybe more so. Willemstad is a world Heritage site and the 18th century pastel coloured houses, the port and the market stalls are all fantastic. It is where Stuart bought the hat he is so often seen wearing! We stopped there on the Black Watch before going through the Panama Canal many years ago. Taste the Okra Soup! Or be daring and eat the speciality, Iguana, said to be an aphrodisiac!! Check out the floating market, the Venezuelans who sail the 40 miles to sell their wares. You can see both sides of Curacao by crossing the Swinging Old Lady, the local name for Queen Emma Bridge. It is a pontoon bridge that opens to allow ships in and out of the harbour
