Blaues Loch, Driftschnorcheln und Schildkröten

We had an amazing trip to the East End of Grand Bahamas ???????? couple of days ago, drift snorkelling - so cool, the blue hole, fantastic lunch and Sweetings Cay for the turtle sanctuary. We’ve been coming to the island for 12 years now (have a place here) and finally got to know better the beauty that is the East End. Lots of boat time, beautiful blues of the water, lots of creatures to see, spotted eagle rays, stingrays, tarpon etc. and a whole lot of starfish which are a favourite of mine. Lunch was in a beautiful setting with peas and rice, cracked lobster and fish fingers cooked perfectly. Plenty of quiet beauty, resilience and pride present here, pleasure to experience ????????????????

Our stay was messed up a bit because of the weather - strong winds and some rain due to a passing hurricane (but not directly in our area). Folks in town are very friendly and will tell you a lot of history. We enjoyed exploring restaurants - Flying Fish Gourmet Bar, The Stoned Crab, and Peer One are defining worth a visit. Lukaya market is also a fun place to visit but on the days when there are no cruise ships in town not all stalls are open and the they also close early. Banks and ATMs are few, and most give you local money. Definitely swim with dolphins. Also we took a ferry from Ft. Lauderdale to Freeport - a very nice experience. Comfortable way to travel.

Un moment agréable en famille. Nous étions seuls, accompagnés par 2 personnes du coin en excursion. Un endroit très beau mais l'excursion en elle-même ne valait pas le prix. Nous devions aller visiter l'endroit où se situaient les tortues mais on nous a dit qu'il n'y avait plus assez de temps car nous étions restez trop longtemps à un autre endroit. La personne aurait dû gérer ce "temps" et nous le rappeler. On n'a pas visiter tout ce qui était prévu mais on a payé le tout. Dommage néanmoins ça reste une bonne expérience.
