The transatlantic crossing had less movement than I expected. Fortunately, my stateroom was midship and low deck, which for choppy seas is the best situation. In my opinion anyway. With so many sea days from Ponta Delgada in the Azores to Nassau, it was a great opportunity for time in the gym and deck-walking amongst all the other activities.
Being part of the Commonwealth, Nassau keeps some of its British traditions, like driving on the left, 'Bobbies' on the beat etc. Paradise island is a real 'must-see'. The Atlantis Hotel compex is absolutely unbelievable. Just to go around the shopping area and Las Vegas style Casino is really worth while. The famed Aquarium and sharks are worth while to se, although they have a $40 entrance charge which they didn't have a few years ago. Still, make a day of it and have lunch at the hotel Marina Village which is really peaceful.
The city itself is a shoppers dream, especially for jewellry lovers, Just check out the prices and quality very carefully, and get your guarantees for expensive buys.
Later I saw the Ice Show which was excellent, really top class - so good I saw it twice!
Yesterday, I went to the American Diner 'Jonny Rockets', which is an American style 1950's Diner, complete with small juke boxes on each table. The staff even do a special dance every half hour. Great fun all round. To start you have a choice of half onion rings/half chips or chilli or both - then choose your syle of burger with all the toppings. For dessert, nickerboker glories, apple pie and many more delectable goodies.
No wonder, they say you go on as passengers and go off as cargo!
At the moment, I am in Fort Lauderdale for a few days, for some well deserved retain therapy.
Bi for now.
