Willemstad, Curaçao - Floating Market HD (2016)
Willemstad is the capital city of Curaçao, an island in the southern Caribbean Sea that forms a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Formerly the capital of the Netherlands Antilles prior to its dissolution in 2010, it has an estimated population of 150,000. Willemstad is home to the Curaçao synagogue, the oldest surviving synagogue in the Americas. The historic centre of the city consists of four quarters: the Punda and Otrobanda, which are separated by the Sint Anna Bay, an inlet that leads into the large natural harbour called the Schottegat, as well as the Scharloo and Pietermaai Smal quarters, which are across from each other on the smaller Waaigat harbour. The city centre, with its unique architecture and harbour entry, has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Curacao 2010-24: Willemstad Punda Drijvende markt / Floating Market aan de Sha Caprileskade, gefilmd van achterzijde en met name de vissersboten.
Uit Marco Polo Nederlandse Antillen, p.51:
Op deze kleurrijke openluchtmarkt bieden Venezolaanse en Colombiaanse kooplieden vanaf hun boten hun waar te koop aan. De bootjes liggen strak in het gelid langs de kade; op de kade staan houten/stenen schragen opgesteld waarop de verse groente, fruit en vis liggen uitgestald. Om de waren tegen de felle zon te beschermen, zijn de stalletjes met bontgekleurde zeildoeken overdekt.
Bij deze vissersboten op de video, wordt de voorplecht gebruikt voor het schoonmaken van de vis. 's Avonds keren de vissers terug naar huis (zie video Curacao 2010-23) en nemen dan het van goede kwaliteit zijnde Curacaose drinkwater mee terug ter verkoop in hun thuisland.

TRANSCRIPT:
Next stop is Willemstad, Curaçao!
This was a great port to come into because of all of the colors of these buildings that you see in the downtown pier area. Every color of the rainbow, and all the architecture is different.
In fact, this was deemed a UNESCO World Heritage site because the downtown is so unique.
It is separated Willemstad by a water in land that goes about a mile or so into the oil refineries because Curaçao is one of the largest refineries, refining the oil from Venezuela.
There is extremely tall bridge allowing big ships with gigantic mass as we were there we saw a Dutch warship go through. But they also have oil tankers that come in and out and it will accommodate that.
There's also a walking bridge between the two sides of Willemstad. And instead of it being a drop bridge what happens, think of your arm moving all the way out to the side to the opposite side of the city to allow a ship to pass and then when it does it comes all the way back.
In fact, when the bridge is moving you can actually stand on it and it's a pretty fun thing thing to do.
Also another point of interest is one of the oldest synagogues built in 1674 is located also in Curaçao.
We stopped by and saw floating market.
Most all of the produce vegetables and fruits are brought in from Venezuela and very few things are grown on the island. But I do know that they have a certain type of corn that is grown.
It has wonderful beaches and we took a bus around tour and saw many of the beaches with the hotels and they have the beautiful white sandy beaches similar to what you see in Aruba.
It is also a great place for R & R, and also the old town was one of my highlights of the trip so far.
In closing, my wish for you is that you will love abundantly, protect your health, and be adventurous for life. You are beautiful. Let your light shine, Aloha!

CURACAO: What to do and where to go in Willemstad //S1E4
Willemstad is a must see if you are on Curacao. With all the colorful buildings and the fun activities you can do there it's a can't miss. In this video I will tell you a lot of fun activities that you can do in Willemstad and where to find them. Now I just recently heard that one of the things I mention in this video does no longer exist. It's the floating market, every day there is people from Venezuela that come to curacao to sell their fruit and vegetables. But there is a lot of issues going on in Venezuela at the moment so they canceled the floating market for the time being. But hopefully they will be able to come again very soon. And if not, I hope that you will still find all the other information that I'm trying to provide to you very helpful.

Willemstad, Curacao
Pietermaai:
Since the year 2000 It has undergone a major metamorphosis. Most of the 200-year-old mansions and worker houses, being monuments, have been renovated. They have been restored into their original state and transformed into idyllic restaurants, hotels, apartments & suites, which are now occupied by permanent residents, tourists & students.
Pietermaai District’s allure draws business men, artists, students and travellers alike. Fondly referred to as the SoHo of Curaçao, its stunning architecture is likely to catch one’s eye. Boutique hotels, small shops, cozy little cafés and top-rated restaurants snuggled together, makes the neighborhood highly walkable and perfect for exploring at your leisure. It’s a neighborhood full of mystery, magic and fun.
The quaint neighborhood of Pietermaai District is located just a stone’s throw away from the city center Willemstad. The district covers an impressive, yet walkable, area stretching from The Movies at Plaza Mundo Merced to the rows of bars along Pietermaai and the restaurants at Johan van Walbeeckplein all the way to Avila Hotel in Penstraat.
Plaza Bieu:
Plasa Bieu, or Plaza Bieu is situated in the heart of Punda, in Willemstad. The place to find krioyo soul cooking; a wide range of local dishes.

Floating Market of Willemstad:
Located along the water in the trendy Punda district, every morning starting at 6:30 AM boats from Venezuela arrive full of fruits, vegetables and even fish to sell at the bustling floating market. Even if you’re not interested in buying anything, a visit to this colorful market is a fun way to pass some time; the merchants are arranged in a well-honed pattern along the water and the fruits are at once gorgeous to behold and mysterious in their origins.

The Handelskade is a famous location on Curacao. It is depicted in many paintings, photos and postcards. Rightfully so, because it’s a fantastic sight. Whether you look at it from the Queen Juliana Bridge or you go for a relaxing stroll on the Handelskade itself (there’s plenty to see and do), the Handelskade is definitely a must-see when you’re on Curacao.

Daarna door de Heerenstraat weer terug naar de Pontjesbrug. Leuke rondwandeling!
