Our Day in Nassau-6





When we got into Nassau, they tried to talk us into



the "guided tours" the ships arrange. We didn't sign up for them. We wanted to go out on our own. Before you go through the terminal, their are people that want to take you on a tour also for starting at



about 75.00 each, no, no. He kept going down in price until he reached 35.00 per person. We were told about the taxi's there, for 25.00 they will take you all over the island, or one place for 4.00 each.



My sister and Linda went to the Atlantis (a high class hotel and casino), while Sandra and I went to the Straw market, where you can wheel and deal like a pro! My kind of place. and took a horse & buggy ride. The taxi driver told us it was about 12.00 each, but when we first asked, he tried to charge us twenty dollars each! He finally said, 10.00 each. Now he was talking our languish. While on that ride, our guide was telling us about their laws there. If someone is found with a gun, it is time served plus 6 months per each bullet found. They don't mess around in the Bahamas. They will hang a man or woman.
