Nassau Pictures-Part 3

Fort Fincastle is on the highest point of land and is shaped like a ship.
It was surprisingly small but only cost $1 so it was worth the tour.

 


This is the old water tower.  It was next to the fort.  You can see the stalls of vendors
catering to the tourists who arrive in vans from the cruise ships.  The budget cruisers
(us) arrive by foot

From the lower street up to the fort area, there is a long stairway.  This set of cascading
fountains was off to one side.  The site won't let me add a caption, but the picture 2 above
is a banyan tree clinging to the side of the cliff along this walkway.

The queen's staircase leading from the lower street to the castle/water tower hill.
I'm not sure which queen.  I suppose it could be any of them.

This is over on Paradise island in the Atlantis complex.  Turns out it houses
the watersports.  We took this photo from Fort Fincastle.  Pictures of Atlantis
will come soon.  We weren't allowed into this complex since we only paid to
see the aquarium.

We went to this restaurant hoping to meet other members of the Seven Seas Cruising
Association but found out they haven't met there in a while.  Guess I should have
checked the website before we went.

This C4 Corvette has been substantially modified with styling cues similar to
a C1.  I vaguely know what that means but David assures me a vet lover will know.

Another view of the vette

Houses on Paradise Island.  Much, much nicer than anything across the bridge.

Once again we had maintenance woes.  The vent for the holding tank was clogged and
creating a very bad smell inside the boat.  It was a very bad job and we both came away
dirty but the boat does smell better so it was worth it.
