It may indeed be better in the Bahamas

The current promotional tagline for the Bahamas is: “It’s better in the Bahamas.”

Take a look at some of my photos from my visit to Nassau and Exuma, and you tell me if you think they got it right!

Posing with the Junkanoo costume at Festival Place in Nassau.

You’d hate to get your hair down by an uncertified hair braider.

The Queen’s Staircase on the side of Fort Fincastle – it was handmade and built as an escape route.

At the Fish Fry. It is definitely good to be home.

Rolling cigars at Graycliff Hotel.

Pensive, walking away from the camera shot on Tropic of Cancer beach

Excited to be at the Tropic of Cancer beach.

Exuma is so pretty.

This shell is now sitting on my coffee table. If only I could have brought along the view as well…

A sandbar in the middle of nowhere with sand so soft I sank into it up to my ankles.

Treading water with pigs. Never done that before.

Yup, those are swimming pigs. Apparently one person in a boat fed them once, and they now associate boats with food. We, of course, fed them.

I’ve also never waded into shark-infested waters before. Nurse sharks don’t have teeth per se, but they are still pretty big. They feel a bit like soft sandpaper.

Eating lobster tail at Santana’s – the same place where the Pirates of the Caribbean crew ate. Which means I could have eaten my lunch where Johnny Depp or Orlando Bloom ate theirs. Love it.

Sea turtle. Didn’t stay at the surface long – shortly after this he/she dove and disappeared from view.

That black shape? That would be a sting ray.

It’s said that there are five colors of water in the Exuma Cays.
