Bahamas Cruise Vacation: Day 4

Day 4 of our trip brought us to the capital city of the Bahamas, Nassau!

We began with a water taxi to Paradise Island.


The tour guide pointed out the homes of the rich and famous.
I believe this one was once owned by Charlie Chaplin,
and is now owned by Nicholas Cage.

We toured the grounds of the unbelievable Atlantis resort.

The "bridge" part of the hotel (above Aaron's head) is called the Michael Jackson Suite. It costs $25,000 a night to rent it out with a minimum 4-night stay. The suite is booked for the next five years!

The resort was incredible...


with amazing aquariums,



and beautiful grounds



with lots of sharks!

This was part of the water park.
Can you see the rider floating down the enclosed tube?--
With sharks swimming all around him!

Another perfect day at the beach



Followed by a tour of the world's largest pirate museum


Maddie was a little concerned when she saw this picture of Aaron.
She asked him how he ever got out of there!



A little shopping at the straw market,
where we picked up some cute purses for the girls


Then back to the ship


We loved the Bahamas!
