San Juan, Aruba, Willemstad, Castries, St. Lucia, St. Kitts

Aruba is the Caribbean, but with a charming rugged edge. Brightly coloured houses, vibrant street life and a distinct buzz in the air, are all part of the experience when you visit the capital Oranjestad.You can walk at the Schooner Market and watch merchants sell exotic fruit and fresh fish direct from tiny boats. Aruba is beaches, sun and shopping along Main Street and Lloyd G. Smith Boulevard.Arikok National Park, Aruba's natural treasure, covers nearly one-fifth of the island and is home to rare endemic flaura and fauna, caves for exploring, hiking and ragged, wind-torn bits of coastline for mountain climbing.

Willemstad is a city in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It is located in the municipality of Moerdijk. Its population as of 2002 was 2,329. Willemstad is a small historical town with well preserved fortifications.

Castries is the sheltered harbor and capital of Saint Lucia, an island country in the eastern Caribbean Sea on the boundary with the Atlantic Ocean. Saint Lucia is part of the Lesser Antilles.

Part of the Windward Island nation of St. Kitts and Nevis, the busy port of Bassterre eases along a sheltered bay surrounded by green hills and mountains, in a setting that's all Caribbean. Highlights of the town include Independence Square, the old section of town; the Circus, a main shopping district; and St. George's Anglican Church, built and rebuilt in the 300 years since its initial construction. The British and the French played keep-away with the island of St. Kitts in the 17th and 18th centuries, with the British ultimately controlling the island, its capital, Basseterre, and Fort Brimstone, the "Gibraltar of the West Indies", located on Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site of historical, cultural and architectural significance.
