Cor & I just got back from a cruise to the Bahamas. The two ports of call were CocoCay and Nassau. CocoCay is a small private island that is owned by Royal Caribbean. Nassau is the capital of Bahamas. We had a great vacation, the weather was beautiful and the relaxation was needed.

the presentation was beautiful, but the drink was not worth the money

The church we attended. We were two of 12 that were present!

the beautiful building in the background is the famous Atlantis Building. It is absolutely gorgeous.

The beach at Paradise Island


the waves were very strong, I wasn't very deep but I almost got knocked over

Amazing talent, it was very hard to walk in the sand without drinks on my head

I have never drank so many drinks without knowing what was in them, but this one was a VERY good one. I was a little hesitant to have one because in the box were fresh coconuts and two jugs, one with icecubes and one with a mixture. The Bahamians are very smart... they don't listen to you and they don't tell you the price before they make you a drink and they sugar you up with compliments. Cor said we would have one to share and he made us two, handed them over and said $20! (actually it would be more correct to say we aren't very smart, we never asked the price) Then 15 minutes later he comes back and asks if we wanted another one, Cor said not for $10! He cut us a deal... $5 bucks for a refill. We got to keep the coconut!

we walked up this bridge and the next few pictures are of the view

We love our beach at home but the Bahamas is out of this world. The water was so clean and beautiful. We loved the island feel...maybe one day we will live on one selling drinks or being taxi drivers.
