This is the most beautiful port I have ever sailed out of
When we come back we stay at the Loews Hotel which has the dome roof
The happening part of Majesty of the Seas
This was as close as we got to the Coco cays since the seas were to rough to ferry people
This was the little opening the ferries had to go through. It must happen often is all I can say. So instead we headed to Nassau for an extra night there
Nassau, Bahamas
I loved the bright colors of the Carribbean
The first night we decide to go see the Atlantis hotel. There were some nice abstract shots inside
Strange things actually
I here there are only three in the world. This one, one in Dubai and Barbados. It looked fabulous
We almost stayed to watch a live concert by Brian Adams that night
My reflection shot. Not a very good one at that. Just different
Beautiful condos across the street
Back on the hotel it was formal night
Ordering dinner had got to be one of my favorite things to do
You can see the Atlantis from our ship
Downtown Nassau
I have heard so many people say there is nothing to do there but we had a great time
Playing the drums
Being an Aztec Queen
The streets were lively and colorful
This was the queen's staircase. From bahamasgo.com I got this info "Nassau's most visited attraction is the Queen's Staircase. Climb the 65 steps, recently renovated, carved out of solid limestone by slaves in the late 18th century, between 1793 and 1794. It is reported that slaves were forced to cut through rocks with axes and other sharp hand tools.This 102 foot staircase was named in honor of the 65 years of Queen's Victoria's reign. Construction of this monument is still regarded as remarkable. For practical purposes, the staircase provides a shorter route to and form Bennet's Hill."
Fort Fincastle had some great views of Nassau
We got to go to an exotic bird reserve. It was so cool!
They had all these little alleyways you could explore to see the different birds
This is an Eclectus Parrot
A Cockatoo
Who kisses the trainer
This parrot preened just for me. Look at that look he gave me. He knew exactly how good looking he is!
There were flamingos everywhere. I guess they don't fly away
And they were pretty friendly and let me get close up
I got pretty close to this leopard though. Good thing there was a mesh fence between us.
They had a flamingo show for us
They called me out to stand with the flamingos
They loved giving kisses to the little girls
But I couldn't get one to give me a kiss for the life of me
I did get a kiss from the Cockatoo though
A typical house in Nassau. Some were nicer and some not so nice
We visited Fort Charlotte as well. We had a nice view of the Cruise Boats
We got to see Fort Charlotte also
It was pretty cool exploring it
We got thirsty and drank some Mystic Blue something. It was pretty good
Lots of tourist shops
I loved this little lighthouse just in view off the beach
She let me take her picture though she doesn't look too happy about it
This guy was happy when he saw me taking pictures though
David bought a hat. He's beginning to get a pretty good collection since he forgets to bring his every time
The earrings seem to be a different style where ever we go
Another view of the light house while leaving the dock
The last meal at our favorite buffet
We stayed at the Loews Hotel on Miami Beach. It was amazing
The had an entire wall aquarium that showed into one of the shops
Other than read and lay by the pool or beach I took a tour of Miami
We stopped at little Havana
I think this guy is a permanent fixture here
Just next door the locals were playing games
A huge wall mural
Part of the tour was a boat ride
I didn't realize it was all about the celebs that live on one of the exclusive islands or I wouldn't have gone since I could care less about that. This one use to be Elizabeth Taylor's home.There were some pretty beautiful homes though
We saw our ship "Majesty of the Seas" anchored while on the boat ride. They were getting ready to take a four day Bahama's cruise
Our hotel was gorgeous
This was our private little path to the ocean
We saw a beautiful rainbow from our hotel window
The Jacuzzi was nice at night
That night we walked to the Art Deco district. They had cafes all along the street but the funny thing is that they all served the same food- Italian.
We finally chose a place to eat that had a flamenco dancer. She was really good
I ordered a drink. It's a good thing I only ordered one
The food was fabulous
We walked back to the hotel and I took some night shots along the way
Another fantastic trip. I am very spoiled. The more I go the more I want to go
