These are places where many tourists never come and never see it.
The 'mondi' around Julianadorp. The mondi is what we call bushes in the Netherlands.

Mondi (Papiamentu) is the name used on the Lower Windward Islands for unexplored wilderness on the islands. The mondi is characterized by the original vegetation of the area, including the dividividividividivivitree (a national symbol of Curaçao) and succulents such as Aloe and Agave. When this original vegetation is cleared but later feral again, the original vegetation usually does not recover. The newly created wilderness is usually characterized by other plants, such as the growing and thorny Wabi bush and the rubberliana (Pal'i lechi). Although such a re-wildered terrain is often called mondi, it is not. Mined rural parts of the islands are called kunuku, even if they become overgrown later.

On Curaçao, a large surface of bushes is a kind of layer of jungle that feels very tropical and especially smells.
At the moment you can only walk between 7 and 8 along the street and thus the bushes:)
The children start school at 7:00 and we can walk for an hour. Let's rest.
