Bahamas

 North America » United States » North Dakota » Grand Forks By Pinkphoenix
June 28th 2007 For my graduation trip, I was able to go on a fantastic cruise to the Bahamas with my daddy! This trip was eventful, and I was able to meet a lot of great people, as well as just go out and have fun. The island of the Bahamas in Nassau was very hot, busy, and was a learning experience. I had to go back to my "small-town" roots and try to remember that big cities are different. I was able to tour the city using a horse and buggy and everything was pink!!! The 3-4 day at Sea we encountered an incredible storm (mild hurricane) so instead of being able to go to other islands and go snorkeling and para-sailling, I was able to go to the top deck of the boat and just sit in the middle of an amazing storm! Even though I got soaked to the bone, and almost froze to death, it was an incredible experience I hope I don't forget. In general, the Bahamas and the cruise were amazing and I fully plan to go back there next summer!

Just leaving port
I was very excited just to finally be going out on the water!

Amazing art gallery
From 5 floors up I was able to watch the art gallery and watch as people would bid, admire, and some like me, just oogling the pieces we wouldn't afford

AMAZING water!
One of the prettiest sights to me was the Carribbean water

Approaching the island
As the ship was approaching Nassau the only thing I noticed was the amazing water. I've never seen anything like it before

Big boat!
Yes, I am aware that all cruise ships are huge, but it still amazed me that I spent a week in the middle of a huge open sea and even though it's a big boat, it's nothing compared to the enormity of the ocean.

Welcome
Papa and I as we got off the boat. Beautiful welcoming to the island!!

Pink buildings
Now, I, of all people, like the color pink, but even I was overwhelemed with just HOW MUCH pink was down on the island. I loved it!

Local band
I found a very nice local band that I was able to listen to in the shade (huge deal down there) and they helped to make my trip enjoyable

Horse and buggy
Me and my dad as we enjoyed some time on a horse and buggy ride... very different than what I normally drive

At the top in the storm
I loved playing in the storm, and almost falling over. lol

In the storm
My beautiful pool deck looking so non-playable.

My beautiful pool deck looking a little MORE playable!

Pool deck :)
If I could, I'd live in the pool!

Faith and Me
One of the amazing people that I was able to spend a bit of time with on the boat!
