We have arrived at the Bahamas. First stop was into Nassau which is the main town. We took the local bus around which was an interesting experience and talked to the locals to find out where to eat and to learn about the town.
We were introduced to the local watering-hole and proceeded to order fritted conch which is essentially a sea snail, fried chicken, and the local beer Kalik. The conch had an interesting taste but I'm still craving those chicken wings. The local beer Kalik we were told was named from the sounds of the cowbells heard during the annual Bahamian festival of Junkanoo.
Oh and did we mention the sea water is the clearest we've ever seen! Warm weather and clear skies.
Next stop is the long and thin island of Eleuthera where the eastern side faces the dark blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean, and the western side faces the calm turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.
