Bahamas Cruise

Bahamas

We just got back from the Bahamas. It was a great trip. Really relaxing, but a little bit cold (if you can believe it)? It was hotter in Texas than it was in the Bahamas. Stupid cold fronts... Anyway, it was still fun, I have to say that I did get a little sea sick on the first night that we were there, but after that it was no problem. As I am writing this I can still feel the sway of the ship. I am beginning to wonder if it will ever go away. I am sure that it will. When we got the the island our first morning there we decided to take a tour of the island. Well it wasn't a tour of the island per say but about 100 acres of government land. We rode segways. I am sure you have all seen what I am talking about. They are these 2 wheel bikes, I guess. Not bikes but little battery powered cycles or something. you have to balance on them and use your feet to go forward or back. They were a lot of fun once I got the hang of them. Once we were done with the tour we walked around the Bay street and did a little shopping then headed back to the ship. The next day was a sea day so we spent the whole day on the ship. It was ok. But it was nice to get off the ship and do something. We lounged on deck and soaked up whatever sun there was. Which wasn't much. There were some fun evening shows and the restaurant food wasn't half bad. The next day we were supposed to get off at another island, an island actually owned by Norwegian Cruise lines. And since they own it they didn't actaully having a dock to pull into, they just get as close to the island as possible and then they have little ferry boats come and pick up the passengers and then take you to the shore. Well they decided that it was too windy and it would have been too dangerous to try and get people from the ship to the boat so, we had another sea day. This second day was very boring. The sun was hardly out so it was cold on the deck everyone stayed out of the pools. There were the hardcore spring breakers that were playing in the hot tubs but that is about it. So that day was kind long, but couldn't complain too much we were out on the ocean on a big ship, relaxing and enjoying one another's company... The next day we docked in Miami and we had an Everglades tour. That was a lot of fun. We saw some alligators, we held a baby alligator and we ate some alligator meat. All in all a fun trip...
