The landmark we were looking out for, the imposing nineteenthcentury church of Sint Willibrordus, appeared as we drove over a crest in the road. Perched atop its small hill, the church seemed to be the tallest structure for miles around, looming higher as we approached. Then an unexpected flash of colour turned my head. The tide was out in the lagoon of Saliña Sint Marie, exposing an expanse of mudflat dotted with mangrove clumps. And further out, near the edge of the shallow water, was a flock of flamingos, placidly foraging, their bright pink plumage contrasting with the chocolate-brown mud. We pulled over, of course, and climbed up the viewing platform helpfully provided by the citizens of Sint Willibrordus. A quarter mile away, the flamingos were mere specks of pink, but we gazed with delight. Somehow, I’d assumed spotting them would require a special expedition, maybe an organised tour <strong>—</strong> I didn’t expect they’d casually appear in the landscape on our very first day in Curaçao.
