The final port Silver Spirit visited on this leg of our
Caribbean cruise was Nassau, Bahamas.
Neither Michael nor I had ever particularly wanted to go there but it
was on our itinerary so we decided to walk around this tourist trap of a city
and see what was there. The day was warm
and clear and we had two pleasant walks around the town. The best sights were those farthest from the pier. To see them we first had to make our way through the tacky terminal and along streets advertising diamonds and souvenirs.
