Bahamas Day 2

The crew woke up late, so we didn't get started until after 12. Bahamas day 2 didn't have anything specific planned out, it ended up being a day at the beaches and visiting some Paradise Island sights.

The beach was nice. It was not too overly crowded, there was a Beer shack next to us, and quite a few solicitors out there trying to sell Banana Boat rides, parasailing, and jet ski rentals. On this day, we decided to just relax and enjoy ourselves on/in the Cabbage Beach. The water was clear, warm and blue, the sand was white and hot! The only thing detracting was the stench of Jet Ski exhaust. It was a good chance to start testing the waterproof abilities of our new camera the Olympus Stylus 1050 SW.

Having fun at Cabbage Beach - check out the clear water!

Goofing around on the beach - check out the white sand!

After our afternoon romp in the ocean, we rinsed off and "cooled" down in the pool outside our patio. This is where we really tested the underwater capabilities of our new camera.

After cooling down for awhile, we set out in the hot, muggy weather towards the famed and FREE Versaille Gardens and the Cloister across the street from the gardens.

Behind the Cloister - can you imagine getting married at that gazebo!?

Then it was off to Atlantis again for dinner and sights. Tonight's dinner was inside the casino at the Atlas Bar and Grill.

Our cocktails - a little bit on the strong side, but yummy nonetheless

Seafood Dip appetizer

The seafood dip appetizer was pretty good, although too much cheese in the dish for my wife.

Wife's Grilled Salmon Dish

The salmon was tender and tasty. The same can not be said of the rice. Then again, us Asians are very specific about our rice!

My Jambalaya

The jambalaya was solid, it did not meet the spiciness test, but otherwise tasted fresh and not soaked. We were actually too full to even try dessert on this night!

After dinner, who did we happen to run across? A few of the Miss Universe contestants! They are everywhere, they are stalking us!

That's it from day 2 of out trip to the Bahamas. Return for day 3 posting tomorrow!
