| 300ex's Full Review: Natural Bridge |
I don't understand why there is such a fuss made about the natural bridge in aruba. While I was vacationing there with my family we heard wonderful things about it and decided to check it out.
First of all, if you don't have an SUV or truck, don't expect to make it to the bridge. Second, if you can't stand driving an suv or truck through the desert for a little more than an hour, don't go.
Now that we got that out of the way, Let's continue. On a hot summer day my family took our rented Geo Tracker aronud the island of aruba in serach of adventures when we heard about this "wonderful" place called the natural bridge, and its sister exibit, the natural pool. We decided to investigate it. We took the long, hot, but suprisingly fun off road drive through the desert to get there. Along the way we came upon beautiful but rocky beaches and lots of sand.
Then we arrived. Where is this natural bridge? Oh! There it is. Big whoop. It wasnt even worth taking a picture of. It's a large rock formation in the desert next to the rocky ocean. Sure the ocean was nice, but it was just as nice as everywhere else in the desert. The natural bridge had many people standing on it so I figure they mgith have liked it, but not anyone from my crew!
Then, at the little shop next to it they tried to make me pay 50 cents to p!ss! I told them I'd just go out in the desert, those greedy bastards!
After that experience we were off to the natural pool, which was even crappier of an exibit andharder to get to by 3 fold.
