Glass Window bridge +++
9 oktober 2023, Bahamas ⋅ ⛅ 86 °F
I'm not sure why it's named such, but after renting a car, we drove N. to see the spot where the turquoise waters of the west side sneak through to the deep blue waters of the east side. Just south of the bridge is an impressive blow hole. 😳 And near there, someone has concrete a Cadillac hubcap to a rock. Oh, what fun to be a tourist. 😏Läs mer

James Beach
14 oktober 2023, Bahamas ⋅ 🌬 86 °F
After a fun lunch with neighbors at a local watering hole where we all took turns looking at the solar eclipse, we set off on our own, and found this gem of a beach ⛱️

Preacher's Cave and Beach
15 oktober 2023, Bahamas ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F
After the saphire blue hole we headed just down the road to Preachers Cave and Beach. The cave, used as a shelter for some shipwrecked Christians, was unimpressive. The beach, however, was gorgeous.

Saphire Blue Hole
15 oktober 2023, Bahamas ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F
We kept hearing about this deep blue hole, so we had to go. I couldn't come here and not jump in. Thinking I was doing something super brave, I was humbled when the 10 - and 11 year old girls came and jumped in after me.Läs mer

Lighthouse Point
16 oktober 2023, Bahamas ⋅ 🌬 82 °F
At the southern tip of Eleuthera, there is a beautiful beach ⛱️ that may soon be ruined by a Disney cruise port being built. You already have to park and walk two miles to reach the tip. It's called Lighthouse Point, but while there is a navigation light and a house, I wouldn't really call it a Lighthouse. Even though the weather was windy and overcast, the walk to the point was protected, and the sea was quite calm. Unfortunately, with the wind, there was not a lot of swimming.
We did not make it home before dark, so the last hour of driving was quite stressful.Läs mer

Between the salt ponds beach
21 oktober 2023, Bahamas ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F
We were both not feeling 100%, but it was a beautiful day, and we were a little restless after two days of rain. We were told there was a beautiful beach at the end of the road between the Salt ponds, so we went looking. Our first stop was not that impressive, so we walked a little farther. Wow! great spot except for the waves crashing on the shore. We tried to time it between the big ones, but it was a fail. Luckily, glasses and hats were located, and no one got hurt. Taylor had a good time. Back at the house, Bill caught a dove.Läs mer

Gaulding Cay & Queen's Bath
26 oktober 2023, Bahamas
We went to Gaulding Cay because we knew it would be calm enough on that side of the island for leisure stroll. And it's near Lenny Kravitz's home. From there, we heard about the impressive waves on the other side at Queens Bath. Normally, you would come see and enjoy these pools on a calm day and at low tide, but we came to see the huge waves crashing ashore during high winds and tide. I don't think even royalty will be enjoying these today.Läs mer

Seahorse National Park
27 oktober 2023, Bahamas ⋅ 🌬 81 °F
This inland sea water lake claims to have the highest concentration of seahorses. Despite the strong winds and partly cloudy skies we decided to go look for seahorses here. The water was a little choppy and stirred up, but we managed to spot many sea snails 🐌, corals 🪸, fish 🐡, a huge crab 🦀 the size of a platter and arms over a foot long, and one seahorse 🐴 just before we called it quits. We were quite cold by the end. We went from there over to Hatchet Cave, but opted not to go in after all. Good choice considering what happened later.Läs mer

Unca Genes
27 oktober 2023, Bahamas ⋅ 🌬 82 °F
We met a lady (Cheryl) from FL while walking the beach at Gaulding Cay the day before. She told us about a guy who teaches music to youth on the island, and they perform every Friday at Unca Genes and invited us to join them and another couple. So we did.
The kids did a great job putting on a show, and a good time was had with the six of us.
That's where the fun begins.
As we were finishing up and getting ready to say our goodbyes, up walks a young local guy to tell us that Lenny Kravitz was at the bar around the corner. Anna went all googly-eyed and about jumped out the window to go see. We all went down there, and sure enough, there he was, along with a small enterage. He was staring in a commercial advertising some tequila brand. He mingled with the crowd, including us. Anna got a hug, and we shook hands and talked briefly. We got some pictures before he went to work pouring shots from behind the bar.
Afterward, we took care of the animals before heading back out to a bonfire on the beach.Läs mer
