Other Stuff on Bonaire
 

The Donkey Sanctuary is located near the airport.  When we visited Bonaire in 2003, the donkeys were "running wild" throughout the island.  Now most of them are guests at the donkey sanctuary.
There are over 200 donkeys in the sanctuary.  The ones we met were pretty friendly.
There is also an iguana pen.  We walked inside and within a few minutes we were surrounded by iguanas.  They seemed to be hungry.  It was pretty weird being charged by big fat iguanas.  We left the pen in a hurry!
Our room at the Bellafonte had some beautiful pieces of art from the local art gallery.  The Cinnamon Art Gallery is another fun thing to do while in Bonaire.  It is located downtown just off of the main street.
If you drive north of Karpata, toward Bopec, you'll end up at Goto Lake.  This was a very pretty spot.  There is a vantage point where you can park your car and see the entire lake.  There are numerous pink flamingos that call the lake their home.
On the way back from Rincon, you'll see a sign that points towards the ocean and says "Indian Inscriptions".  We followed the dirt road.  It winds along the ocean to some cliffs.  The inscriptions were easily visible.
The southern portion of Bonaire is where salt is harvested.  The salt is used for roads and water softeners.
