DAY 29 Nassau, Bahamas c:red}Hope you're ready for some Island fun We're on the island but like most cruises there is only so much time, this food and walking tour will give us some exercise and awesome food. https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g147416-d11454206-Nassau_Rum... We're going to get a bit of history as well https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g147416-d11454206-Nassau_Rum... Once we're back on board, ladies we're doing another round of karaoke on the top deck under the moon. The captain was so excited to hear you're all such great singers, he's been announcing it to all the returning guests. All he needs to know is what song you're singing. I believe this is the fourth island I've visited. Two are in Canada on either side of the country, and twice now I've flown to Cuba. No worries. I can only venture so far before I run out of land. So, we head out to explore Nassau, Bahamas on foot. The pace is langorous which makes sense 'cause it's a walking / imbibing tour. Yep that's right, we'll be sampling and sipping our way around. Our first stop is at Smuggler's Beer Garden which has a pirate vibe. According to our guide, the local drink is rum, so we give it a taste. You know there are so many delicious cocktails and concoctions based upon rum. I slurped one titled 'Bahama Mama' . The locals are so friendly! Everywhere we wandered we were offered treats and more drinks. Huh, that rum is in everything. I didn't say no to rum-infused chocolates and rum cupcakes. hey, I rather think I became rum-infused. More than likely my sauntering morphed into stumbling and staggering. Did I mention the generous servings of rum? Our hosts proffered more of this amiable liquid at the John Watling Distillery. I hope I conveyed my appreciation. Somethings are a wee bit hazy. Well I for one felt suitably relaxed and loose enough to attempt karaoke back on the ship. I don't recall any stage fright, or misgivings. I suggested we sing along to some Beach Boys music I chose 'Kokomo' mainly because it mentions Bahamas by name, and who doesn't enjoy a little taste of these guys. In honour of our extensive travels this month, I also belted out their song, 'I Get Around'. We certainly have covered a large concert circuit. Is it just me, or do the stars appear extra sparkly tonight? |
