November 20, Nassau
Saturday, November 29, 2014
On Thursday, we arrived in Nassau about 8 a.m. We had to be back on board by 4:30 p.m. to begin our voyage back to Charleston.
We had been to Nassau on our previous cruises but it was fun to visit again.
We went for a buggy ride.

Nassau, the capital city of The Bahamas, is located on 21-mile-long New Providence, our 11th largest island. Nassau’s main harbor is protected by Paradise Island. The harbor attracted settlers in the early days, particularly pirates. In fact, Nassau’s population consisted mainly of pirates until 1718, when The Bahamas first Royal Governor, Woodes Rogers expelled them, restored order and built Fort Nassau. The Bahamas for centuries adopted Rogers’ motto, “Expulsis Piratis, Restituta Commercia,” which means, “Pirates Expelled, Commerce Restored.” Now, 212,000 people call New Providence Island home, with a large portion of them residing in Nassau.

I had a chocolate swan for dessert on Friday. It was fun watching the girl create it.
Our final towel creation for the week. They must always do a heart for the final night because I think I remember seeing one before.
Saturday morning we finished packing and left our room about 8:30. The process for leaving the boat went smoothly and quicker than we were anticipating. Before long we had found our car and were back on the highway heading home.
