Nassau, its just a bit different. After living in the remoteness of the Exumas for three months, Nassau is a shock to our systems. But, it is nice to grab some groceries and a few other things that we've been missing.
Yesterday we decided to take the kids Geocaching in downtown. If you're not familiar with Geocaching, it is a basically scavenger hunt with GPS. You log on to the Gecaching site and then look up places to search for boxes of stuff that are hidden all over the world. We do this as a pass time in Portland all the time. And, we thought we'd give it a try in Nassau. The kids had a blast and we located a number of caches. As you'll see we collected a couple of geocoins that we'll place in other caches later in our trip. One cache was near the Hilton Hotel and the other at the Governor's Mansion. The trick in an urban area like Nassau it is avoid being detected by muggles. These are people who are not in on the Geocache scene. You don't want someone disturbing a cache if they don't understand the game.
While strolling through Nassau with the Geocahers I decided to take a few pictures of what we saw along the way. My hope was to take the pictures you won't be seeing anytime soon in the brochures at your local travel agency.
As you'll see from the photos, there are a lot of different sides to Nassau. There's a lot of people watching to be done. Heck, we even saw the Prime Minister riding by in his flash Lincoln Continental.
So, click here, hit slide show and enjoy a walk through Nassau.
