Quizfrage

What is a Maribomba?

Antwort

The yellow paper wasp (Polistes versicolor), which is common on Curacao, has the funny-sounding name Maribomba in the local language Papiamentu.

This name has its origins in the Bantu language Kimbundu, in which wasp means “marimbondo”. Once again, the connection between Curacao’s slavery past and the influence of an African language on the creole language Papiamentu becomes clear.

We were told that the sting of a maribomba is quite painful. But so far we have been spared.

  • Quiz Question

    What is a Laraha?

    Answer

    The Laraha is a sour, green orange fruit that only grows on the ABC islands.

    Originally, the Laraha was a Valencia orange, but in the desert climate it only produced shrivelled fruit. Unfortunately, they were simply inedible. But something could still be done with their peels: The bitter orange liqueur Blue Curacao has been produced in Landhuis Chobolobo for 115 years.

  • Quiz Question

    What is Klein Curacao?

    Answer

    Klein Curacao is the uninhabited neighboring island of Curacao, located approx. 11 km to the southeast. The smaller of the two white stars on the Curacao flag represents the island, which is just under 3 kilometers long and 1 kilometer wide.

    It is a popular excursion destination by boat. The only attraction is the old, red and white lighthouse, which forms a beautiful contrast to the barren landscape and the blue sky.

    Even more attractive are the coral reefs and shipwrecks around the island, which attract numerous snorkelers and divers.

    Your most important accessory for Klein Curacao: sun protection – in any way!
