Nassau: First Full Day

Had a large breakfast. Lay on the beach till 1 p.m. and then rented a scooter. Unfortunately, my friend, Chris, was not comfortable riding on the scooter and we soon rented the bike and took the local transit into town.

Downtown Nassau is full of tourist trap type of shops and supposedly high-end jewellery stores. Everything is overpriced but it was nice to walk through town anyways.

Pictures of our time on the beach are trapped on my iphone, but below are pictures of our day out.

This cute old graciously allowed me to take her picture and called me boo-boo, darling and baby, which was very sweet of her. She looked the part of the doting grand-mother and who doesn't love doting grand-mothers.

Sign with Chris' finger for a comment.


One of many mega-ships which come to harbour in Nassau, releasing tourists to drink in the streets, buy over-priced crap in the stores and generally act like they own the town. Or they just looked frightened and wonder if they'll ever make it back on the ship for another game of shuffle board.
