This scorpion lay waiting by the front-door to welcome us home to our house last night.
Thanks to Hennah Draaibaar, my brave colleague, who killed it :-)

I'm here with my Kids News Network colleagues Hennah Draaibaar and Eddi Wijngaarde - they've successfully run
the Surinam kids news for the past four years. Together we investigate with whom and by when we can start news-for-children
in both the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba.

Willemstad, the capital of Curaçao, is famous for its kinky-colored streetscapes.

A family of monitor lizards have set-up their den in the garden. The number of animals & insects here is truly amazing.
Nasty mosquitoes are constantly on the prowl for blood! (I squashed a few dengue "mossies").
