Rare sid_9169 Posted May 31, 2022 Author #726 Share Posted May 31, 2022 You can see the Virgin Voyages beach club from the ship. It's the first little point that sticks out in the picture. I'm going to be walking in the opposite direction, heading South. On the other side, I can see all the way to the end of the island, which is less than I walk on a daily basis. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 31, 2022 Author #727 Share Posted May 31, 2022 They still haven't made any announcements, but I can see a couple of passengers debarking down below. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 31, 2022 Author #728 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Still cloudy out, and I think that I can see some rain off in the distance. Not very warm here either. Not as warm as you'd expect, anyway. I'm sure that it'll be hot soon enough. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 31, 2022 Author #729 Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) A lot more people starting to head out now. The best beach chairs go early. I don't really care about a good spot, just somewhere to drop my fancy beach bag. (Publix plastic bag) Edited May 31, 2022 by sid_9169 3 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 31, 2022 Author #735 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I'm walking back towards the ship now from my first adventure of the day When I got this close, I began getting email alerts, so that tells you how good the WiFi is. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 31, 2022 Author #736 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Couple more while I'm walking back. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 31, 2022 Author #737 Share Posted May 31, 2022 A few ant bites aside, I'm back from my first little adventure of the day. I left the ship, and opted to walk down the long pier, and then took a right, down towards the little town. My goal this morning was to aquire what's purported to be the best conch salad in all the Bahamas. A few from my initial walk. There are no sidewalks here, so you have to pay attention to traffic. Keep in mind, they drive on the wrong side of the road here, so you need to be conscious of that. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 31, 2022 Author #739 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Then, I just kept walking. There were a few sprinkles of rain, and I prayed that I wasn't about to get soaked. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 31, 2022 Author #740 Share Posted May 31, 2022 There was a small cemetery by the roadside, so I snapped a couple of pics. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 31, 2022 Author #741 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Then, I just kept going. My brain map said that I was headed in the right direction. There was a conch graveyard by the side of the road. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 31, 2022 Author #744 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Up ahead in the distance, I could see what I thought was my destination: Joe's Conch Shack... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 31, 2022 Author #745 Share Posted May 31, 2022 You could say that it had a rustic quality about it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 31, 2022 Author #746 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I walked around back, to find Joe himself chopping up fresh caught conch. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 31, 2022 Author #747 Share Posted May 31, 2022 You might say that the food preparation standards here are a little more lax than other places. Still, I walked two miles for this, and I wasn't turning back without eating some of it. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 31, 2022 Author #749 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Once they finally opened, I placed my order for a conch salad, conch fritters, and a local beer. The salad came out first, and they prepare every order right there on the counter. Fresh chopped conch, tomato, onion, bell pepper, and fresh lime... 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted May 31, 2022 Author #750 Share Posted May 31, 2022 It was unbelievable. I mean, it was tender and flavorful, and had just the right amount of everything. This conch was living in the ocean when I woke up this morning, and now it's on my plate... Next, the fritters came out, and they were the best I've ever had... 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
