My
husband and I are inveterate travelers. And we decided to spend our
vacation in Nassau (it is the capital of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas).
Bahamas is miles of sandy beaches protected by coral reefs; it is lagoons
of transparent turquoise waters and green coconut palms. Numerous coral
reefs, as well as ferruginous layers in the limestone create an unusually
colorful picture of the underwater world. It is home to rare animals,
so it is a real paradise for travelers. Islands are full of all kind
of beach holiday. We especially enjoyed paragliding, water skiing and
windsurfing. Most resort hotels include water sports in their services
or offer them for a fee. The climate of the islands is a tropical,
so the average temperature of winter months is 22-24 °C and of
summer is 29-30 °C. The best period for visiting the country is
a cool season from September to May, and we went to Nassau in April.
Our impressions of this city are difficult to convey in words. It is
a divine place really! And it’s not only the nature and the ocean.
It is also the exotic meal of Nassau paradise island, which will seem
you unusual, but very tasty. National food Bahamians are meals from
clam conch. From the mollusk prepare appetizers, main dish salads.
Chefs cook conch chowder with the addition of tomatoes, potatoes, sweet
peppers, onions, carrots, bacon or bacon, bay leaf, thyme, pepper and
salt. Some cooks add barbecue sauce and chicken meat. But the most
expensive food in the Bahamas is the local spiny lobster.
Nassau, which is located on the island of New Providence, is connected
by two bridges to Paradise Island. This is a place with everything for
recreation and entertainment. Restaurants have the most diverse meal,
night clubs, modern SPA-center. One of the attractions of Paradise Island
is a unique aquarium in the open air in a natural lagoon. There is a
transparent tunnel at the bottom. You can see tropical fish and sharks
at close range walking on it. When we were in an aquarium, I thought
I was on the ocean floor. At first I was a little scary, because the
shark swam close to the tunnel. Then I got used to this situation and
the fear disappeared. I began to enjoy the view of beautiful fish and
marine animals and plants. It was so unusual that I could not believe
I’m in the ocean! If you are going to the Bahamas, be sure to visit
this fascinating aquarium. I think you’ll like it.
