We decided to have breakfast in the cabin, actually on the balcony overlooking Nassau Harbor which was great for about half and hour and the up turned the Carnival; Liberty and parked right across our view of the town, oh well nothing we can do.
Following breakfast and generally relaxing for about an hour we packed our backpack and left the ship, by this time all the organised tours had gone. Why would anybody go on a tour for 2.5 hours leaving at 0815 when the ship does not sail until 8 pm this evening is anybody’s guess. Much to early for us. Anyway we walked in to town the temperature was around 27 C so quite warm if n not a little humid and long the shopping streets filled with Gucci, etc. and lots of watch and jewelry stores. There were of course plenty of stores selling t-shirts and bags and all sorts of tourist things. We took quite a few photos on the walk around town and then stopped in a little square to have refreshing beer. Two beers fort 11 USD, perhaps a little steep. As previously mentioned we were not the only ship in town there was the Carnival and also the Royal Caribbean cruise ships so I guess about 5/7000 people descending on a small town but nobody seemed to be in the expensive shops only bags containing t[-shirts. Across the other side of the Harbor you could see the huge Atlantis Hotel and you could visit there by either boat or taxi, not for us. We had our beer in the only bar where the Wi-fi did not work, great but we didn't need another beer and so we said forget it, we are on holiday.
After about a couple of hours we returned to the ship for a latish lunch, Noel had Sushi and Jennifer tried some other Asian food, which we both enjoyed. Then back to the room to put one’s feet up, as they say, for a couple of hours and then we sat outside with a cuppa and watched the Carnival Liberty slowly getting ready to leave which included some of the crew bringing on to the dockside and large music box where they played pop music and then started dancing, well I say dancing more of a work-out really. On U-Tube you can find videos of people who arrived back at the ship but minutes late and then they are stranded and so we watched to see if would happen. Well it did to a degree, a youngish woman with an older female in an electric invalid chair came along the quayside and saw the ship leaving and she cried out OH NO’ it can’t be??and then realized
she was on our ship and not the one just leaving.
In the early evening around 6.30 pm Jennifer went to check out the swimming pool as out visit there lunchtime it was pretty packed and would not be good so Jennifer went off and Noel caught up with some blogging and importing photos from the new camera. The camera is a lot lighter and smaller ( its a Sony a6000) and seems to operate much quicker than the other one and has lots of extra features like uploading via Wi-Fi which I can’t use on this cruise as internet connection via Wi-Fi is hugely expensive on cruise ships. For example the packages range from 100 minutes for $55.00 or 25 minutes from $ 100.00 and the most expensive being 1000 minutes for $ 250.00 so we shall have to think about what to do. I am not really worried if I don't upload the blog on a regular basis but it would be nice to check emails from time to time.
Anyway we had another nice dinner in the main restaurant although I think there was a small amount of garlic on the steak based on the effects later that evening, Oh well just hang in there.
After dinner we wandered around the ship and their was apparently a comedian on that night but we both preferred to listen to music and read which is what we did..
I forgot to mention that we haver about a 50 inch LCD TV in the room with a very good system, somebody has given this a lot of thought.
