Labadera - Koraal Specht
- Details
In the area of Koraalspecht the part adjacent to Bottelier is indicated under the name Labadera. According to Joubert (Papiamentu dictionnary), this word has two meanings: laundress and ford. Since this is an indication of an area, the second meaning is the most obvious, though we found some artifacts, which can also indicate the first meaning.
On the map of Werbata (1909) there are two houses indicated in this area, two water holes and an old road to the saliña of Jan Thiel. We decide to investigate.
