Nassau, The Bahamas after a week of delays

We rented a car and drove all around Nassau and New Providence Island. Paradise Island is across the harbor from Nassau and is home to Atlantis Resort
The marina at Atlantis

Interesting hotel sign. They have weekend, day, and 4 hr. plans!


We toured with Jan and Tim from Full Circle


Our waitress at The Sands restaurant on the southern side of the island

Definitely windy


Fort Montagu was built to protect the east entrance to Nassau Harbor


We went to the Botanical Gardens only to find them in disrepair. Didn't look like they were maintained in the past 15 years. This is a picture of an interesting underpass made of coral and Conch shells.

Anchorage Highborne Cay, Exumas

Well I changed my mind about swimming after Ed went fishing
The winds were changing direction so we moved to an anchorage near Hightborne Cay. Ed is trying his luck fishing!
