Today we were in Freeport, Grand Bahama Island. We got into port about 8:00 am. As a last minute idea Chris got us booked on
a bus tour of the island, which ended in a shopping event. Between the tour and the shopping we went
down to the beach and had a nice walk.
The island itself is kind of disappointing. I'm sure if we were staying at a hotel and
had more time to spend on the beach and make a couple of treks down to the more
natural end of the island it would be very interesting, however the towns were devastated
by to back hurricanes few years ago and
are still recovering. The tour consisted
of a lot of "on the left you'll see the oil refinery for the island. Production was shut down in 1980" and
"over here you see our power generation station which runs on diesel and
gasoline". Even the shopping was
pretty disappointing. The usual touristy
crap. I did get a few good pictures though,
especially of Chris. She looked
beautiful down on the beach. Ah well, we
went back to the boat and got a decent nap before this evening. Dinner after the nap. Chris figured out Margarita's riddle
tonight. Very proud of her. Jerk pork loin. I liked it, Chris not so much. After dinner we took a turn in the casino. Both of us had a great time. At one point Chris was $60 ahead, but then
she ended up losing all of it, including the $20 she started with. I stuck in a
by Guinness again tonight. Really
the only thing worth drinking on the boat.
Hung out for a bit on the Serenity deck and just looked out over the ocean talking.
