Happy Tuesday!

I’m back to share more from our Gilmore Girls Cruise!

I thought I could finish it all in one post today, but I’m going to have to make one more post after this one. #sorrynotsorry

Monday we finally made it to Nassau, Bahamas!

We were at the port and docked when we woke up that morning.

Our excursion didn’t leave until 11:00 that morning, so we took our time eating breakfast and then got ready to go.

The excursion we decided to do was called See and Sea.

The first part of the excursion is we took an air conditioned tour bus around the city of Nassau and learned some history of the city.

We also saw some cool landmarks.

It only cost people $10 a day to get treated at this hospital! That is anything from a band-aid to a major surgery. For tourists it would cost $60 a day!!

Such a pretty tree that blooms only in their “rainy” season (May and June)

The water tower that supplies all of the water to the city

The Queen’s Staircase- famous because it was carved out of limestone rock by slaves

Looking down from the top of the Queen’s Staircase

I was brave enough to climb down and back up the stairs! There are 66 steps if you are wondering. Whew!

Zoomed way in to get a shot of all the ships docked at Nassau

Emily loves Dunkin’ Donuts so I took this picture for her!

After our tour of the land, we went and did the “sea” part of our excursion.

We rode a boat out into the middle of the ocean and then got onto a submarine.

On our way to the submarine, our boat driver told us all about the houses we were passing.

We were able to ride by Paradise Island in Nassau. Make sure to read the caption of every picture to see whose house we saw!

Nicholas Cage’s house- Currently for sale for 14 million dollars!

A view of the popular Atlantis resort. Michael Jackson owned that suite where it looks like a bridge where the two buildings connect. Now that suite rents out for $25,000 a night and it’s booked solid for the next 5 years!

ONE of Oprah Winfrey’s two houses in Nassau

The other house of Oprah’s that is right next door. They were both GORGEOUS!

Tried to get a shot of both of Oprah’s houses, but I had my big zoom on my camera.

Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and some others all have houses on Paradise Island also, we just couldn’t see them from the side of the ocean we were on.

We finally made it to our submarine and it was such a cool experience! We saw sharks, sea turtles, and tons of different fish! I loved seeing an up-close and personal look at the ocean life!
