Exploring Nassau and Atlantis











May 13, 2009: 
  
May 11, 2009:  We arrived in Nassau Harbor about 6p.m. See the picture of the Paradise Island lighthouse and Atlantis in the background. and were docked by 6:30 at Atlantis Marina 
on Paradise IS.  After showering and cocktails, we set out to explore and to find some dinner. Atlantis reminds me of Disney World but reminds Charlie of Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. 
     May 12, 2009:  I got up early to do laundry and then washed down the boat. 
 Charlie went exploring, bought post cards, and mailed them.  Marilyn Friend and I took a ferry across the harbor to Old Nassau where we wandered around a bit.  The traffic was horrible with narrow streets and bumper to bumper cars and trucks.  We purchased some island outfits as well as some groceries and a sixpack of Kalik before returning to Atlantis again by ferry.  The ferry tour guides are all free lance depending only on tips but are very entertaining and informative.  We rejoined Charlie and ate lunch before going in search for the underground aquarium.
While Charlie found a pool to lounge by, Marilyn and I toured
 yet another underground aquarium.  They are a special attraction here and beautifully done.  We all enjoyed cooling off in one of the many pools at Atlantis.     We had a lovely and memorable dinner at Cafe Martinique.
