We all sat down and watched wife swap which was painful with the million and one ads that chop up TV programmes out here, but was pretty hilarious. In the American wife swap, they set up scenes and coach the families so it is always more entertaining. What did amuse me were the earrings of one wife in particular that you can see below.
Marcel found a dead lizard in the pool which grossed me out but also was a little sad. I looked up curacao lizards and discovered that it was likely a male 'Whiptail' lizard, and male by it's greenish colouring. The females and babies are brown. Locals in Curacao eat lizards (but only the larger Iguanas), and Iguana soup is a popular delicacy. The eggs and meat are supposedly powerful aphrodisiacs.
On the way out to the pizzeria, it was dusk and i took some great shots of the sunset. The pizzeria had a great atmnosphere, but we noticed the language barrier more than ever when a pepperoni and ham pizza turned into a mushroom one :-s The pizzas were delicious though, and i really enjoyed my half pint of Amstel with a slice of lime.
That's about it for day five.
