Okay,
Three months ago I so rudely left you all aboard the Disney Wonder in Nassau.
Well I wish that's where I'd been hanging for three months. Wouldn't that be great.
So we had a fabulous morning with the girls on the ship playing in the pools and the getting hair braided. The girls were off the the Ratatouille Cooking School and DH and I got off to walk around Nassau. It wasn't even a month past the event that happened in Nassau over the winter when several
DCL and RCI travelors on a tour were held at gun point and robbed. So, we felt much better leaving the girls safely on the ship while we ventured out for some adult time. And we had a great time!
As we were walking toward Senior Frogs we saw the Oasis of the Seas sail in. It was only it's second time sailing into Nassau. We were amazed at the size and all the locals and tourist stopped to stare and take pictures.
Senior Frogs was in easy walking distance. I did not find the locals to be near as aggresive or intimidating as I'd heard at all. Boy the drinks were strong here. I couldn't drink all mine and it was half the size of DHs.
Once they started calling poor unsuspecting people up on the bar to sing my husband was out of there. So we headed out to do some shopping.
My husband tells stories about how I almost got us ran over or mugged just to find the Del Sol store. Not true by the way.
There are no sidewalks on some of the roads so we had to walk down a street but it was not busy. And like I said the people were kind and not overbearing at all. I got the girls some great color changing nail polish and unknowingly started our new addiction to finding Del Sols along the Caribbean. Boy we spent a lot more in March when we found Del Sol in Jamaica. Love that store!
For fun, here's Faith outside Del Sol in Ocho Rios, Jamaica in March.
We stopped at a couple more stores then made our way back. We found these cute little preschoolers doing a Michael Jackson tribute. Too cute.
As we made our way back to the ship we were passing THOUSDANDS and THOUSANDS of Oasis of the Seas cruisers. It really was overwhelming and amazing to see just how many people that ship could hold. We were glad we took our pictures by the Bahamas sign before they arrived. In our happy, giddy mood (due to Senior Frogs)
we decided to try to take a picture of the two of us in front of the Bahamas sign. But rather than wait in a long line and ask someone to take a picture we got up on a stone railing and took a self portrait. This was not the first one. It took us a while to angle it just right. You can see the huge
Royal Caribbean crowd behind us. I had just bought the sunglasses I have on and apparently was a little too happy to realize that the sticker was still on the front.
We came back to find the girls happy and engaged in the kids club. They were not ready to leave so DH and I went up to have a late lunch since they'd eaten in the club.
Up Next: Princess and the Frog newly released and Pirate Night!!
