Description
On a recent visit to Wimmestad, Curacao my wife and I astrayed off the well beaten path. We strolled through the busy and colorful streets of Punda, the touristy district of the city, but then ventured across the Sint Anabaai inyo Otrabanda. While this area is seeing some revitalization, the farther we walked the less tourist friendly it became. We were never in any danger, but the sidewalks were broken and lined with broken bottles. There were fewer t-shirt shops and more derelict buildings. We wee in search of the St Elizabeth Cathedral and once we passed this alley my wife decided it might be time to end our quest. Luckily she was more right than she knew for down a block or two was our destination.
