Caribbean island Curaçao..

Curaçao - small island in Caribbean. wonderful beaches, hot girls, never ending parties.

That was what i taught when my plane was about to land at Curaçao Airport. After few weeks spent there I've to say all of what I wrote is true. but what I've to write in addition to it, is that Curaçao is not the safest places I've visited and what more, its also quite expensive..

But besides that, if you manage to get off-the-beaten track and try to see the island on your own (local buses, hitchhiking) you'll get one of the most unforgettable experiences..
