Chanel the Bear Visits Jamaica

Jamaica!   Oh Chanel, that is exciting.   This duck has never been to Jamaica.   Mom said Jamaica, a Caribbean Island was colonized by the British and the island is beautiful.   Jamaica has mountains, rainforests, great scuba diving and wonderful snorkeling.   Here you are, entering Konoko Falls and Park.

This beautiful area is in the Hills of St. Ann, overlooking the tourist area of Ocho Rios.   Your photo of this beautiful fountain shows a turtle in the water.

We love to see turtles.  Jamaica’s first people, the Taino Indians settled in this area.   Be careful Chanel, that man has something on his shoulder.

A really huge iguana.   The tropical landscape is breathtaking.   Thank you Chanel for these photos.   Jamaica looks beautiful and it seems that you had a great time there.

Curacao, Nederlands Antilles with Chanel the Bear

My friend, Chanel the Bear, just came home from another cruise.   She sent me, Zeb the Duck, some colorful photos from Curacao.

Mom told me Curacao is in the Caribbean Sea, just 40 miles (65 km) north of Venezuela in South America.   Things look so tropical and warm here.

And even a huge sign for Vitamin Water, a common beverage in the United States.   Curacao still has strong ties to the Kingdom of the Nederlands.   Shopping looks like fun, Chanel.

I love these shirts!

We love these souvenir shirts.   Mom told me that Curacao is one of the ABC Islands.   The ABC Islands are Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao.   Just look at the colorful buildings in Willemstad, the capital of Curacao.
