; Richard  Our walk from the cruise terminal into Willemstad, Curaçao, took us across the famed Queen Emma pontoon bridge. The floating market offered varied and appealing produce selections. The tropical fruit was particularly tempting. We noted many types of seafood sold from the tiny vessels’ decks. The public market provided a glimpse into the island’s culture. Arts and crafts vendors, herbalists, butchers, shoe repairmen, new and used clothing merchants, a post office and others all shared space under the domed structure. We explored several side streets throughout the Punda before sitting down for a refreshing beverage at Vienna Ice Café. The alarm sounded on the pontoon bridge during our return to the Otrabanda, but we made it across before it was moved to allow an approaching ship to pass. This was fun to witness.
