Aruba

Friday, 16th September 2005 by James

Aruba is a Caribbean island that forms a part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Sadly it’s not in very high resolution, but I’m posting it anyway as after I get married tomorrow my new wife and I will be jetting off to Aruba for our honeymoon!

Alex is back from his holiday now so himself and Olly will no doubt keep up the sightseeing posts in the next couple of weeks.

    Psh, the redundancy filter won’t let me post. I wanted to congratulate you and apparently, I’ve already said it before. Well, uh, I agree with them then.

    Even at the low resolution, I was able to pick out the Placemark: airstrip / Google Earth where James and his bride will probably be arriving.

    Congratulations, James!

    Looks like a cloud across the length of the island. Almost like they waited before taking the photo.
