Back From The Bahamas

The five-day cruise to the Bahamas is now history.

Friend Mitch Geriminsky and I got back to Jamestown last evening in the rain. For once, we didn't have any issues in returning home. No cancellations. The only delay was our final flight home from Atlanta. But that was only a half hour. We would have been late to board as our connecting flight was a little late and passengers in front were slow to get out of our way (until I said something).

We had a good time on the cruise. We went with Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Sky. It was not one of those mega cruise ships. This one has a capacity of about 2,000, a more manageable number. 

We went first to Freeport, Bahamas and did some shopping. I had to buy a small bag as the new Clamper one tore on one side. It was not overloaded either. Just cheap.

The next day was spent in Nassau. We took a boat tour and then a bus tour. We stopped at a flea market next to an old fort. Then, we went to a very expensive mall (one shop was for Rolex watches) called Crystal Court at Atlantis Resort. It rained hard during our bus tour.

Tuesday night, we took in a musical show of 1970s rock 'n roll. 

Wednesday night, I did some gambling in the ship's casino. I made $60 on roulette.

Then, on Thursday, we went jet skiing at Great Stirrup Cay. Jet skiing over ocean waters is much different than on lake waters. The jet skis were more powerful than the ones at Lake Havasu. One can easily get thrown off if they give the jet ski too much throttle. Mitch hit a wave wrong and was thrown off his jet ski into the drink. Too bad I missed it. 

When I download my photos from my Canon Rebel, I will post photos of the trip.
