| | Day 1: A walk around Nassau reveals...a tiled building. Who knew? | |
| | | Decay and beauty, together again. | |
| |
| | | ...most had enchanting gardens. | |
| | | Someone's yard: there's very little topsoil above the coral, anywhere. | |
|
| | The first of many Minnesota houseplant sightings. | |
| | | A young Queen Vic in the town square. | |
| | | A decapitated someone, in "storage" on the library (former jail) verandah. | |
|
| | The view of the harbor from our hotel door-with a few "Lego"-like cruiseships. | |
| | | The esplanade/Junkanoo beach. Here, we got engaged. | |
| | | Day 2: a jet-boat trip to Saddleback Cay. | |
|
| | Welcome to Gilligan's Island, | |
| | | The walk up to food, drinks,.... | |
| |
| | The sand felt like pie-crust dough. | |
| | |
| | | | Some fascinating stratification in the coral. | |
|
| | | Steve braved the rather chilly water. | |
| | | We walked further to a more hidden cove... | |
|
| | ...with very shallow & warm water. | |
| | | On the way back from some snorkeling, the capt. dropped us off on a sand bar. | |
| |
| | Lunch included barbecued chicken and tropical drinks. | |
| | | We fed the scraps to the sharks. | |
| |
| | Some of the ubiquitous bouganvilliea (sp?). | |
| | | Day 3: At Ardastra Gardens/Zoo, we got to feed parrots. | |
| | | The zoo had a very enchanted (overgrown) garden feel to it. | |
|
| | | We missed the 10am March of the Flamingos. Which was fine. | |
| | | The sidewalk seemed to have had a rough time of things, recently... | |
|
| | ...as had this Norse ship. The owner had neglected to seal the hull properly. | |
| | | Day 4: we visited Blue Lagoon Island... | |
| | | ...where Annette set us up with an awesome Dolphin Encounter. | |
|
| | We got to dance with, hug, kiss, and pet a dolphin named Soca. | |
| | | Afterwards we found a nice little beach & lazed for a couple hours. | |
| | | That is the actual Gilligan's Island, off in the distance. | |
