Bon bini
Aruban wordsmiths have done a beautiful job on the the front page of Arubatourism.com , with an almost poetic description of Aruba's natural assets:
Bonbini, in our native language of Papiamento, means "Welcome". Welcome to Aruba. The word is ours. But we like to think the meaning is universal. Our beaches curve like an Aruban smile along the western shores, soft and white and fringed with palm trees, sloping gently toward the calm transparent turquoise of the Caribbean.
The waves of the windward coast crash like incessant thunder against the northern cliffs, carving high, arched coral bridges and deep, dark secret limestone grottoes.
Between the two extremes, in a desert landscape where the cacti grow to the height of a man, great building-sized tumbles of boulders stand like the lagacy of some ancient, angry god. Winding roads lead to rocky passes and hidden coves, or sometimes to nowhere at all. Giant green parakeets call to their mates, and troupials flash brilliant orange against the deep blue of the Caribbean sky.
This is not the Caribbean as usual. This is Aruba!
This website also offers general information about Aruba and its people, Carnival, a map, getting married on Aruba, things to do, and places to visit.
Good site for those wanting to know more or planning a visit!
