Antigua and Barbuda Part 2 - The colors of Antigua
All colors of Antigua
Antigua in the Eastern Caribbean is a Caribbean Island unlike many others. Antigua is only 14 miles long but the beaches of Antigua are some of the best in the Caribbean. Antigua beaches are white and soft like talcum and powdery, and the waters of Antigua's many beaches are so blue they seem unreal.

Each island has its own beaches.
Antigua and Barbuda - the beach is just the beginning!
In Antigua and Barbuda a lot of fun and adventure awaits tourists! For example, you can make a sea cruise on a "pirate" ship "Dolly Roger." Swimming is almost all along the coast of Antigua with a stop in the beautiful bay. In the bay you can sunbathe or swim and swim and snorkel.

Promotional video of Aruba, produced for the Aruba Tourism Authority
This is
Aruba. This is our home. And we want to share it with you!
I want to
tell you about an island. This island son calls home! We’re calling wins. Kiss
warm faces. Where deep blue’s from above. Melt into rich blues from a deep. And
white carpet announces that you’ve arrived.
I must tell
you about our island. A land where smiles were born and children’s laughter in
the air. This heaven sea, where happiness lives and plays. Where the people
such warm-hearted people who know nothing but love for each other, their
guests, their home.

Penetrating the impressive hull of an underwater wreck often means coming across a school of anchovies or a watchful snapper hiding in the corner. Often it is enough to enjoy the play of light as it too finds its way into the wreck, reflecting off the bubbles emitted by your dive buddy.
Aruba part 3 - Carnival in Oranjestad
Lighting Parade, Carnival, Oranjestad, Aruba, February 14, 2009
The holiday of Carnival is also an important one in Aruba, as it is in many Caribbean and Latin American countries, and, like Mardi Gras, that goes on for weeks. Its celebration in Aruba started, around the 1950s, influenced by the inhabitants from the nearby islands (Venezuela, St Vincent, Trinidad, Barbados, St. Maarten and Anguilla) who came to work for the Oil refinery. Over the years the Carnival Celebration has changed and now starts from the beginning of January till the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday with a large parade on the last Sunday of the festivities (Sunday before Ash Wednesday).
Tourism from the United States has recently increased the visibility of American culture on the island, with such celebrations as Halloween and Thanksgiving Day in November.

Public transport on the island is relatively convenient, with 'route taxis', called "ZRs" (pronounced "Zed-Rs"), travelling to most points on the island. These small buses can at times be crowded, as passengers are generally never turned down, regardless of the number. However, they will usually take the more scenic routes to destinations. They generally depart from the capital Bridgetown or from Speightstown in the northern part of the island.

The economy contracted in 2001 and 2002 due to slowdowns in tourism, consumer spending and the impact of the 11 September 2001 attacks, but rebounded in 2003 and has shown growth since 2004. Traditional trading partners include Canada, the Caribbean Community (especially Trinidad and Tobago), the United Kingdom and the United States.

The name "Caribbean" is derived from the Caribs, one of the dominant American Indian groups in the region at the time of European contact during the late 15th century. After the discovery of the West Indies by Christopher Columbus in 1492, the Spanish term Antillas was assigned to the lands; stemming from this, "Sea of the Antilles" is a common alternative name for the Caribbean Sea in various European languages. During the first century of development, the Spanish dominance was undisputed.
