    We all know who she is. Rule Brittania, Brittania rules the waves. Here she is memorialized once more outside the government offices of Nassau.

    It always amazes me how you can see Queen V just about anywhere from Singapore to Nassau.

    Nassau Town: Time Stood Still

    In spite of the development of Paradise Island and the port which is most definately on the stop-over route of virtually all Caribbean cruises, time in Nassau feels as if it stopped in the 1950s. Very much a British colonial town, pink and white clapperboard dominates, the pace is relatively slow, time is made for conversation, and while the traffic may be quite heavy on the main thoroughfare, step round the corner and you will be transported back in time.

    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.

    When visiting Nassau you absolutely must visit the Water Tower. For just 2 quarters you can climb the stairways of the tower and enjoy the spectacular view of Nassau. As a matter of fact on the Water Tower you will get to see the entire island of New Providence.

    My fondest memory of Nassau was meeting up with a homeless man who happened to live on the beach. As I was taking pictures he approached me and asked me if he could pose for me on the Palm tree, he said it would be a great souvenier for myself. I was quiet hesitant on his proposal, he said he did not want money for it, but he explained his situation , and I agreed on having him climb the tree and me taking his picture. He was a very friendly man and I still give 5 U.S. dollars for the picture. I thanked him and wish him much luck with his life. The picture of the man on the Palm tree can be seen above. It also reafirms my motto 'A World with citizens that care is a smiling World' so the Bahamian man on the palm tree smiled.

    When visiting Nassau you must walk throughout the city. Take a bus - known as jitneys, rent a scooter, a car or bicycle, ride in a water taxi, ride in a horse-drawn surreys. If you go in the weekends it's very crowed with tourist. I believe I saw more tourist the residents from Nassau. You must go to Blue Lagoon - snorklling, scuba diving - a relaxing island with a beautiful beach. You have to go To Paradise Island - Cassino and Atlantis Hotel, wow! In Nassau, if you have long hair, prepare yourself. You will be sick and tire to hear if you want to have your braided. Go to the straw market. You have a lot to do. Put your must comfortable shoes that I will take you there!!! Are you ready?

    What I miss the most is the beach. The clear water with white sands and the fishes swimming close to you. I wish be back every other month. I wish!!!

    This is one of the Locals siting on the street in Nassau painting. He had several he had painted and was really good at it. He has them lined up outside the Back end of the Straw Market. With different prices on each picture. That’s on my list to get one next Feb. When I go back.

    Meeting so many nice people.

    This is a picture I took While in Nassau it shows a family hunting and cleaning Conch shells to resell. They do seem to sell good at the Straw Market. I could buy one for about $10.00

    My best memory of Nassau was just pulling up to the dock and seeing it for the very first time.

    This small obelisk is devoted to the men (no women) of the Bahamas who gave their lives in the World Wars and something that happened on a ship in 1981, which I can't identify.

    14 men from the Bahamas gave their lives in WWII, and about 40 in WWI. Their names are recorded on the plaques adorning the sides of the obelisks.

    • Don't be afraid to use the bus service to get around -its cheap and easy. Shopping downtown was much like any other cruise port. We managed to catch some of Junkanoo which is the annual New Years Parade. The costumes where spectacular.
