Beautiful day in the very pretty capital of the Bahamas. Unfortunately, 6 other cruise ships docked at the same time and unloaded 24,000 passengers onto the narrow streets.
We had intended to take a tour but it was chaotic and though there were people offering excursions, they did not seem to be very trustworthy.
We bustled our way along and came to a hotel that was offering day passes to its private beach – all the beach areas around the town were private. They charged US$100 each, for a guaranteed sun bed and a 10% discount on food and drinks. We could get that for free on board and we decided to continue our walk, before returning to the ship.
Felt a bit disappointed at not seeing more of Grand Bahama but Nassau, though beautiful, is a hectic tourist trap.
Met our friends on the outside deck for buffet dinner and contraband wine – it is becoming a regular get together of the Queen Victoria Wine and Glee Club.
It was proposed that we meet again tomorrow but decided to have a night off to recover.
