Everywhere
I watched good service and comfort to please tourists. Places were Holy
and miraculous.
The first people who began living on the island of Aruba were Indians from
the Arawak tribe. There is a script left in this place by about a thousand
years ago. They were discovered in the caves of Aruba. And if you want
to see the history of their life, you may visit the Museum of Archaeology.
You'll see the clay pots, which indicate that the island was populated
with people that had lived a thousand years ago. The traditions and habits
are tightly kept in these places.
In 1499, the Spanish squadron Lonzo de Ojeda wanted to get this island.
Of course, pirates also wanted to get it. In 1636, this wonderful island
as a result of a long war with the Spaniards was conquered by the Dutch.
They retained the influence on this island. During the Napoleonic wars,
it was conquered by England. Since 1995, Aruba is an autonomous territory.
That's not the end of history. Today Aruba is a small island in the Caribbean
Sea about 32 km in length and 10 km in width.
Local people are mulattoes and African-Americans. They speak Dutch, English
and Spanish. Most of the island's inhabitants are Catholics. They are always
at one’s service as if they understood one’s wishes.
While staying in Aruba resorts all inclusive, getting acquainted with history
and local natives, feeling high quality service, I was full of happiness
and joyfulness.
