Next Stop The Bahamas!!

---

We absolutely loved The Bahamas, we will definitely go again. When we arrived to Nassau it was during the night. We went to our hotel and rested, even though we slept on the plane it was still nice to rest. We were so exhausted the airplane ride was almost 11 hours long. Again, we took a tour in Nassau and ate really good cultural food. The tour was less expensive than the one at Quito, Ecuador but it was still as much fun.
