We sailed over night and woke up in Nassau. We actually slept in a little which surprised both of us. After breakfast, we left the ship. We had not booked any excursions since they were mostly beach things. I had found a self guided walking tour and so we were off.
We made it to the Queen’s Staircase, built in the 1700s and is 66 steps and climbed all the way to the top. Near the top was Fort Fincastle, shaped like paddle wheel steamer. We then headed towards some other sites, but we were walking in a shady area of town, lots of broken sidewalks and we decided to just head back into the main part of town. Because it was Good Friday, none of the nice stores were open. The straw market was open but we were not interested in shopping there.
After lunch on the ship we went to see if there were any bridge players. There were some, to include a director who will be running games on the sea days. We did not really play, just sat and talked to some of the players.
Tonight is the Captain’s Welcome party. We are meeting Donna and Jerry for a drink before dinner to catch up since our last cruise together. Tomorrow will be a sea day.

I wondered why I had not been hearing much about your travels and then someone mentioned that you’d been busy making things whole again after Ian. I’ve been rather silent also. I hope this trip is great fun. Will be anxious to see where you’re going. Bon Voyage. Polly
