Today is Day 5. . . Beach Day

2013_01_25_00_00_00_10 - Sun Mar 29 08:27:51 2015

MooMba Beach restaurant. There seem to be a lot of mosaics in Aruba. Where did all the broken tiles come from?

2013_01_25_07_54_56_10 - Sat Feb 8 11:55:12 2014

This looks like a great place for breakfast, right on the water, right in the sand.

2013_01_25_07_55_05_10 - Sat Feb 8 11:56:33 2014

Definitely a good place for breakfast . . . an "All You Can Eat" buffet.

2013_01_25_08_09_15_10 - Sat Feb 8 11:58:25 2014

He takes eating so seriously.

2013_01_25_08_09_21_10 - Sat Feb 8 12:00:01 2014

Very tasty breakfast.

2013_01_25_08_09_35_10 - Sat Feb 8 12:01:38 2014

Restaurant on the sand. Very peaceful!

2013_01_25_08_10_12_10 - Sat Feb 8 12:06:36 2014

Little beggar looking for a handout.

2013_01_25_08_27_25_10 - Sat Feb 8 12:07:47 2014

We chose to eat outside, of course.

2013_01_25_08_34_08_10 - Sat Feb 8 12:09:08 2014

A walk on the pier.

2013_01_25_08_37_24_10 - Sat Feb 8 12:15:18 2014

Moomba Beach

2013_01_25_08_37_31_10 - Sat Feb 8 12:17:39 2014

Where are all the boats?

2013_01_25_08_40_29_10 - Sat Feb 8 12:18:31 2014

A ship, a ship, a Pirate Ship. Arrrrrg!

2013_01_25_08_41_00_10 - Sat Feb 8 12:20:17 2014

Japanese tourist!

2013_01_25_08_42_38_10 - Sat Feb 8 12:21:00 2014

Container ship.

2013_01_25_08_43_52_10 - Sat Feb 8 12:22:15 2014

Aruba must be known for its mosaics.

2013_01_25_08_56_11_10 - Wed Mar 5 11:05:02 2014

Maybe we will look for another place to swim.

2013_01_25_09_01_03_10 - Wed Mar 5 11:04:46 2014

Breakfast really looks good!

2013_01_25_09_09_37_20 - Sat Feb 8 12:24:40 2014

Coffee and tea on the beach is the way to go.

2013_01_25_09_09_46_20 - Sat Feb 8 12:26:16 2014

Good Aruba coffee.

2013_01_25_09_09_53_20 - Sat Feb 8 12:27:04 2014

Back at Sunflower Villas, getting ready to head out for the beaches.

2013_01_25_11_25_46_20 - Sat Feb 8 12:29:08 2014

Let's get going. Ginny has her swim clothes on and is ready to hit the beach.

2013_01_25_11_26_25_20 - Sat Feb 8 12:30:20 2014

Litres? Just fill it up!

2013_01_25_11_42_40_20 - Sat Feb 8 12:31:41 2014

Sign reading . . . No 50, No crossing?????????????

2013_01_25_11_57_16_20 - Sat Feb 8 12:33:18 2014

Aruba highway.

2013_01_25_12_19_51_20 - Sat Feb 8 12:34:10 2014

Aruba is a desert island, therefore the cactus.

2013_01_25_12_21_00_20 - Sat Feb 8 12:35:15 2014

Cactus at the beach. Interesting!

2013_01_25_12_23_49_20 - Sat Feb 8 12:36:01 2014

We are at Baby Beach, which is supposed to be one of the nicest beaches on Aruba. It is approximately 17 miles from Noord, where we are staying. Aruba is 19 miles ling, and 5 miles at its widest point. It is approximately 74.5 square miles in area.

2013_01_25_12_25_49_20 - Sat Feb 8 12:47:23 2014

My baby at Baby Beach

2013_01_25_12_29_45_20 - Sat Feb 8 12:48:18 2014

We're here. Time to get wet.

2013_01_25_12_30_15_20 - Sat Feb 8 12:49:42 2014

Time to put the camera down and get wet.

2013_01_25_12_30_18_20 - Sat Feb 8 12:51:28 2014

Beautiful clear water and sugar sand.

2013_01_25_12_30_26_20 - Sat Feb 8 12:54:11 2014

There is also a lot of coral.

2013_01_25_12_37_20_10 - Sat Feb 8 12:55:36 2014

Sand and coral and lots and lots of water.

2013_01_25_12_37_31_10 - Sat Feb 8 12:56:58 2014

BEWARE. There aren't hardly any ripples, much less, rip tides. But we will be on the safe side anyway and not stray out too far.

2013_01_25_12_38_47_10 - Sat Feb 8 12:58:53 2014

Looks like a giant whale swimming by.

2013_01_25_12_43_31_10 - Mon Feb 10 13:22:33 2014

His baby on Baby Beach . . . headless!

2013_01_25_12_43_57_10 - Mon Feb 10 13:23:43 2014

Oh, she does have a head!

2013_01_25_12_43_59_10 - Mon Feb 10 13:24:17 2014

Come on in, the water's fine.

2013_01_25_12_57_43_10 - Mon Feb 10 13:25:06 2014

Getting wet a little at a time.

2013_01_25_12_57_47_10 - Mon Feb 10 13:25:43 2014

Splish, splash, Denny is taking a bath!

2013_01_25_12_57_48_10 - Mon Feb 10 13:26:33 2014

All clean.

2013_01_25_12_57_59_10 - Mon Feb 10 13:36:48 2014

The water feels great! Come on in!

2013_01_25_12_58_16_10 - Wed Mar 5 11:17:16 2014

Feet are clean.

2013_01_25_12_58_53_10 - Mon Feb 10 13:37:33 2014

Nice butt!

2013_01_25_12_59_11_10 - Mon Feb 10 13:50:08 2014

Nice front!

2013_01_25_12_59_21_10 - Wed Mar 5 11:18:48 2014

Strike a pose!

2013_01_25_13_01_00_10 - Mon Feb 10 13:50:49 2014

Mr. America!

2013_01_25_13_01_48_10 - Mon Feb 10 13:51:37 2014

Going in!

2013_01_25_13_03_48_10 - Wed Mar 5 11:20:32 2014

Ginny takes the plunge . . . or the tip toe approach.

2013_01_25_13_03_58_10 - Mon Feb 10 13:53:05 2014

The water feels great. Average sea temperature in Aruba in January is 80.8 degrees. Awesome!

2013_01_25_13_04_18_10 - Mon Feb 10 13:59:01 2014

This feels so good!

2013_01_25_13_05_36_10 - Mon Feb 10 14:00:02 2014

Fun in the sun.

2013_01_25_13_09_04_10 - Mon Feb 10 14:02:25 2014

Strike a pose!

2013_01_25_13_09_36_10 - Wed Mar 5 11:23:04 2014

What else can be said. This is a really great place to spend the day.

2013_01_25_13_09_37_10 - Mon Feb 10 14:07:25 2014

Isn't the water beautiful!

2013_01_25_13_10_07_10 - Mon Feb 10 14:08:51 2014

Isn't the sand beautiful!

2013_01_25_13_10_13_10 - Mon Feb 10 14:09:26 2014

Isn't the sky beautiful!

2013_01_25_13_10_15_10 - Mon Feb 10 14:10:15 2014

Water, sand, sky.......all beautiful!

2013_01_25_13_10_22_10 - Mon Feb 10 14:11:31 2014

and don't forget the "babe" on the beach!

2013_01_25_13_46_17_10 - Mon Feb 10 14:12:45 2014

Cooling off is easier sitting down.

2013_01_25_13_56_18_20 - Mon Feb 10 14:14:31 2014

This is a huge pet cemetery at the end of the island by Baby Beach, where people bury their pets, and put up markers for them. There were even some pictures of the pets and flowers to mark the graves.

2013_01_25_14_39_50_20 - Mon Feb 10 14:16:34 2014

Driving away from Baby Beach. Just a really pretty view.

2013_01_25_14_43_40_10 - Mon Feb 10 14:17:38 2014

Gentle waves coming ashore.

2013_01_25_14_44_46_10 - Mon Feb 10 14:18:30 2014

2013_01_25_14_45_37_10 - Wed Mar 5 11:28:23 2014

Stopped for a couple more pictures on the way back from Baby Beach.

Our little car parked off road, while we explored the beach.

Just one more picture of the water. We only have a couple hundred so far.

2013_01_25_14_50_49_20 - Mon Feb 10 14:23:48 2014

Someones beach house

2013_01_25_14_53_18_10 - Mon Feb 10 14:24:26 2014

Not really sure what kind of succulents these are, but they grow all over the beach and are very pretty.

2013_01_25_14_53_24_20 - Mon Feb 10 14:26:26 2014

Good bye Baby Beach.

2013_01_25_15_02_09_20 - Mon Feb 10 14:27:33 2014

Cactus along the road back to Noord.

2013_01_25_15_06_56_20 - Mon Feb 10 14:28:18 2014

Driving back to Noord, through the cruise ship district, very expensive stores to spend your money in.

2013_01_25_15_45_09_20 - Mon Feb 10 14:34:09 2014

Cruise ship full of tourists just waiting to shop.
