Went to Nassau, The Bahamas on April 16-17,
2008.
First thing I did was to check out the beach
which was just in front of the hotel where I stayed at, Quality Inn.
On my way to downtown (5 min walk from hotel), I passed by a local bar
operated by Bradley! It was not difficult to get along with the Bahamians and
as soon as I got to the sidewalk booze bar, I
was already boozing-up with Donnie and Carlo.
Downtown was very small. In less than 1 hour,
I've gone to the flea market, seen the parliament, hall of justice and the
shopping area.
Went back to the beach and gathered some sand
for my collection. Bahamian sand was fine and white just like in
Boracay, The Philippines.
I was correct when I concluded that the
salinity of
the Bahamian beach (Atlantic ocean) was higher compared to Pacific (where
Boracay is).
Went to the other side of town and asked for
Bahamian snack. They gave me 2 pcs of deep fried fish, coleslaw and
fries. Apparently, Bahamians love to eat in large servings. Had
some Bahamian lobster as well.
For dessert, they gave me a small BUCKET of
paradise island booze!
At night, just hopped from 1 bar to another.
It was a privilege that I experienced authentic Carribbean fun, booze and
music!
Woke up the following day with a bad headache (what did I
expect, duh!) and flew back to Toronto. |
