There are also a couple of forts on New Providence (the island on which you find the town of Nassau). Not real exciting, as forts go... there was never a real battle at either of them . . .

There's a smaller one and a larger one.

At the larger one, there are attendants... on site guides, if you will. They do a superb jog of making a fort that never saw a battle as interesting as possible, given the lack of material they have to work with.

Something I have NOT done in Nassau, but fully intend to one of these days, is a visit to Ardastra Gardens. Other than the botanicals, the BIG attraction there is the "famous marching flamingos." I'd really llke to see that!

Sounds like a lot of things. The marching flamingos sound intersting. Lots to think about.

There are pictures here on this website. You can see some of the sites that are available. I haven't done the 66 steps. I still want to do the horse drawn carriage. There are 24 different shots of Nassau.

Helen, thanks for the links!! I have been to Nassau once and I didn't even see half of what was in those pictures. Sometimes I wonder where I have been when I see pictures like those.

I did go over t Paradise Island and walk through the Atlantis. That was something. There is a public beach right near the hotel and that is where we were at.

I want to see more out of Nassau then in the past. I plan to this time. It looks like there are things to see. And no problem.
