Okay, I know we stayed in an all-inclusive, but found the need to pay for drinks in our new favorite hang-out...the Daq Shack. A short distance from Breezes, we found our mecca on the side of the road. For $5 you can sit in the tiny shack and have Brian or his son fix you the most amazing daquiri you've ever tasted. All fresh ingredients, made to order. Let your imagination run wild.
If you are a cigar smoker (or like to be one on vacation) check out their amazing selection of cubans. Leave a Comment Other Contact: Across from Wyndham

Getting Around: Driving in the Bahamas is influenced by the British, so cars drive on the left. Visitors can drive using their home license for up to three months and may also apply for an international driver's license. Pedestrians please be careful and remember to look to your right before crossing streets. Leave a Comment

A little background history on the Bahamas is needed!! Arawak 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. Leave a Comment

The Population:297,477. Pretty small, huh? But sadly, population estimates for this country take into account the effects of excess mortality due to AIDS; this can result in lower life expectancy, higher infant mortality and death rates, lower population and growth rates, and changes in the distribution of population by age and sex than would otherwise be expected.

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 its territory is used for smuggling illegal migrants into the US.

Granted, I only got to go to Nassau, but in addition, I also got to go to Castaway Cay, which is owned by Disney. It was pretty Nice. And fewer Hair Braiders! The Bahamas consist of more than 700 islands and cays, many of which are not inhabitated. The islands cover an area of 100,000 square miles of Atlantic Ocean, located between Hispaniola and South Florida. Leave a Comment

There are lots of quiet laneways that have small cafes and nice shops. Stop for an espresso or cold beer along these "tiny streets". Leave a Comment

Take a break from the beach and explore the dungeons and underground passages of Fort Charlotte, once the main defense for Nassau. Admission and underground tours are free. Open Monday – Friday, 9:30am-4:30pm. Located off West Bay Street on Chippingham Road. Leave a Comment Phone: (242) 325-9186
