Day 16 Nassou Monday 30th April 2012
Awoke this morning after having a pretty sleepless night last night!! The boat had been extremely rocky throughout the night and when I got up to go to the loo it felt as though Id had one too many
Marcus was reading the weather on his phone this morning and discovered that it had been force 9 gales which explained why it had been so rough!
It didnt help that I had a bad tummy all night after the late meal so I was actually really glad when daylight came.
We ended up getting up at 7.30am and breakfast was brought up to our room as we had left our little cards out the night before with our choices on. We had a continental breakfast of Cereal, Croissants, Pastries, Juice and Coffee.
We went out onto the balcony as it said on the little television that we would be docking in Nassau at about 9am but the weather out was terrible It was windy and was lashing it down and that was forecast all day!
As we arrived in Nassau, it looked lovely but the weather was still really bad so no one really wanted to venture off the ship just yet apart from a few brave souls!
Marcus had registered Kade in the kids club yesterday and seeing as we couldnt do much this morning, we took him down and dropped him off. We had to carry the little cordless phones around with us while he was there so they could contact us at anytime if they needed to.
Because no one was venturing out just yet, the ship was packed. Marcus & I went to get a coffee then decided to watch John Carter in 3D. We had just settled down to watch it when the text went on our phone to say Kade wanted to be collected! We left straight away and when we got there it turned out he was a bit scared as they were sounding the horns for a practice drill which were quite loud to him and it was super busy in there with all the kids so he wanted mummy
Once we collected him we had a browse round the ship before going back to the room for a while. The rain was still quite heavy so there wasnt much point venturing out just yet.
At 11.45am we went up to get some lunch at Cabanas. It is buffet style and the choice was so vast. The counters seemed endless and everything we had was superb!
I had King Prawns and salad with Carrot Cake for dessert. Marcus got a pizza, chicken, chips and some red snapper followed by cheesecake (!)
Kade had Crab Claws, prawns and bread etc followed by a chocolate layer cake and ice cream. It was all delightful.
After lunch we went back to the room and as I was so tired from the lack of sleep last night, I had a little nap while Kade and daddy went to watch Chimpanzee at the cinema.
On their return at 2.45pm we decided to venture off the ship and have a look round Nassau. We were determined to set foot on Bahamian soil bad weather or no bad weather!
The rain had actually eased quite a lot but it was still very windy and we walked into the town. There were plenty of big named shops around and we had a good browse round but bought nothing in particular.
We walked through the market and found that you got accosted to buy at every turn
We bought Kade a little wooden toy before leaving. On the route back to the ship we just bought some local Bacardi rum cake and a t-shirt for Kade.
As we were coming back we got a good look at the ship. It really is hard to comprehend the size until you are stood next to it!!!
