Bonaire 2014 - snorkeling and birding

We joined our friends and returned to this beautiful island after being away for 5 years.
There have been a lot of changes since then.
The fish are plentiful but the coral is scarce.
Even though we travel to Bonaire to snorkel from the shore, we also love exploring the island and continue to enjoy the flora, fauna & scenery.
