6: Looking at Otrobanda in the sea direction.

7: The police station at Molenplein in Otrobanda.

10: A ship about to pass under the Queen Juliana Bridge. Taken from Punda.

11: The Hotel Mira Punda is where I stayed. The hotel is in Scharloo. So named as you can see Punda from its balcony. But the balcony was locked and they wouldn't unlock it. (Possibly because of its deteriorated state.)

12: A view looking east on Pietermaaiweg. The buildings on the right are on the water. Not far from the center of Punda. All of these buildings have historic protection. They can only be restored. My bicycle makes an appearance.

27: When I stopped for some water in Caracasbaai a fellow recommended I make it up Midden Seinpost (104 meters). This is a panorama looking east and south towards the water.

28: I then climbed up a small observation tower and took a 360 degree panorama. The first body of water is Lagun Jan Thiel to the south. I couldn't get the horizon straight. Someday I'll try to fix it.

90: The view from my table as I wait for breakfast.

91: A panorama from Negrita looking across the Waaigat at Punda. Unfortunately the first picture was into the sun, so the then locked exposure was all wrong for the rest. I should have taken a throwaway picture in the center first.

92: My breakfast. My best of the trip.

93: The Floating Market. A string of visiting Venezuelan, Colombian, and other island schooners lining the canal leading to the Waaigat.

94: A very nice panorama from the Queen Emma bridge looking north to the Queen Juliana bridge.
