Cruise to the Bahamas!!

Jim and I went on a four day cruise to the Bahamas. We left on 26 October and returned on 30 October, with stops in Freeport and Nassau. I want to show you some great pictures I took, it was so beautiful!!



This is the beach where "Pirates of the Caribbean" was filmed. It is just perfect!!

While in Freeport we got the most delicious frozen drink, with Mango, Pineapple, and Strawberry flavors from the lady pictured below.


These are things we did not buy in Freeport. They are all beautiful but you can't buy everything.






Then we went to Nassau!!
Nassau is the most populated island in the Bahamas. It is called the "New York of the Bahamas". Nassau is also the home of "Atlantis" which is a very upscale resort, water park, hotel, and casino.



This picture of Atlantis was taken from the ship. We took a trip to the casino that evening. It was just like being in Las Vegas.









I think the most fun we had was on the "Segway Tour". We got about 15 minutes to learn how to "drive" the Segway and then away we went into the forest for a great ride. We went up and down small hills and through miles of trails. I don't know how much they cost but I sure would like to buy one.


This is our "Segway" instructor. She has lived her whole life in Nassau. She was so nice and funny.







This is me and Jimmy after we became "ONE-WITH-THE-SEGWAY". They will go up to 12 miles per hour and are really fun!!

Of course I have to show you the "towel animals" we got every night in out cabin. They are so cute and I even purchased a book to show me how to do them.




"Walrus"








"Elephant"








"Dog"










Not sure, "Waterhorse" maybe?




Some things we saw but did not buy on Bay Street.


Boy, you really have to want a fish head real bad to pay $150 for it. I did not want one that bad.

But.....I have saved the best for last......I won the $500 BINGO game and it paid for all of our on-board expenses except for $28. If I had stayed away from the slot machines they would have had to pay us to get off the ship.

Who is the queen of the small picture frame??
