Nassau, Bahamas March 24

We sailed into Nassau around noon and there were already 3 other ships in the port.  Once again our little ship was dwarfed by the "floating cities". Our tour guide told us the port can handle as many as seven ships at a time.

The third ship in the back of picture is one of the huge 5000 passenger ships















Picture taken from the top of the hill. Our ship is in the lower left
















Our tour was on a mini bus around the town visiting a fort, the Queens Steps, and driving by historical buildings.  Our tour ended with a short visit to the  high end Atlantis Resort.  there are many beautiful beaches here but we are about 40 years to old for the crowd here!  It is also very expensive.

Looking down the Queen's Steps
Of course we had a stop for the souvenir shops!
The shield for the Bahamas features a marlin and a flamingo



















Just a few of the yachts at the Atlantis Resort
There were probably over 30 yachts in this small harbor
This was the largest one, 198 ft "Rock.It"  owned by the founder of "Jimmy Johns"
