A little history
by Toughluck
Lucayan Indians inhabited the islands when Christopher COLUMBUS first set foot in the New World on San Salvador in 1492. British settlement of the islands began in 1647; the islands became a colony in 1783. Since attaining independence from the UK in 1973, The Bahamas have prospered through tourism and international banking and investment management. Because of its geography, the country is a major transshipment point for illegal drugs, particularly shipments to the US and Europe, and its territory is used for smuggling illegal migrants into the US.

Stay out of the town! Unless you want to buy crap and see how dirty it all is. Snorkeling even though I nearly hyperventilated! Also, I went on the huge slide...no small feat---it is pretty much a sheer drop! And you go through a tunnel where sharks are swimming outside!

Stay in Cable Beach. That way you're pretty much close to everything. I love the fact that for $0.75, you can take the bus that can take you all the way through downtown Nassau and back. Also, in Cable Beach, you are at the hotel strip (well, besides Paradise Island). You can pretty much walk from one hotel to the other with no problems. I was usually either at the beach or in a club. Or when I'm bored, I simply just go to the Crystal Palace Casino (also in Cable Beach - walking distance from most hotels) and chill there.

When I travel I really love to walk and see all that I can see. Most of my trips I go by myself. I put my comfortable sneakers and I go get the city. I walked on West Bay Street along the shore for about 3 miles or so. Some of the views that I really appreciate.

I remember that when I was tired of walkingI took a bus - they call jitneys - a great way to see most of the shore in an inexpensive way. The driver was ver friendly ansd gave me a real tour about the island. I missed have a better camera to take better pictures. Well, something to miss, right?
