Aruba - Day 5 - Shopping and Marandi

Breakfast, did some Kenpo, then loaded up to head out for lunch. We went to Salt & Pepper again for some Tuna wrap and Tapas with Sangria, then decided to do some shopping for schmott.  Schmott is a technical term for crap that you really don't need but buy anyway.  We drove around the island some, found the location of our dinner reservation, and headed down to check out Baby Beach.  Neat area with shallow water with a lot of families and kids swimming.  Dinner tonight was at Marandi and it was phenominal.  By far, in my opinion, the best restaurant we have been to yet.  The setting was on a thatch covered dock on the water.  Service and food was very good.  We left there, went back down to shop some more, and headed home around 11pm or so.

Another great day

We left the beach around 5pm and stop...
