Lazy saturday morning with some postcards updates. Lets start with something new, my 1st card from Aruba. In the last months, a lot of cards from new or unique places, were sent by Eric and I can't thank him enough.
Beaches are probably the 1st thing that cross our mind when thinking about Aruba but there's more to think and do in this Caribbean country.

Hooiberg - which translates to Haystack - is a volcanic formation which 165 meters above sea level, and is located at the approximate center of Aruba.
One of the contributing factors to Hooiberg's popularity, and the often mistaken belief that it is the highest point, is the fact that it stands out as a solitary mountain surrounded by a flat landscape.
A depiction of Hooiberg can be seen on the Aruban Coat of Arms. It symbolizes Aruba rising out of the sea.
Try to reach the top of Hooiberg and you will have a nice view over the island and the sea. On clear days you can even see Venezuela to the south.

Hooiberg is covered with cacti, divi-divi trees and some Kibrahacha trees. - in: https://www.visitaruba.com
Divi divi trees are very common and popular on Aruba. The famous Divi Divi (Watapana) tree is always pointing in a southwestern direction due to the trade winds that blow across the island from the north-east.
