Jan 15 - Nassau







5ships in port








Police people in Bahamas......watching football on the big screen on next ship over.........




We don't dock until afternoon, so we both make use of the fitness centre and the walking deck, then G goes for a body composition analysis - he has 10 pounds of water he is told....a cream can fix that (they are always trying to sell something!)....I get an acupuncture treatment for my sciatica, and some chinese herbs, hope it all works!



In the afternoon we get off in Nassau and leave the crowds taking the water taxi to Atlantis...we walk across the bridge and into Atlantis....the resort, casino, beaches...hugh and amazing. We don't take any tours, don't feel like we have time to fully enjoy, so just walk around and then take water taxi back to downtown to take in the straw market - lots of women packed into a market, making straw bags, purses, and selling knock-off bags and their wares, as well as the usual t-shirts and trinkets.

We have not bought much this whole trip, a tank top, dark chocolate and some fresh spices, but find some small purses here...otherwise everything looks the same and we've seen it before.
