I was mostly on my own on Paradise Island my first day in the Bahamas and actually relaxed. The view from my room is amazing or what one may call breath-taking. I went to the pool and read a book which I'm dreading finishing because it is so good. In the afternoon I took a free casino gaming class which turned out to be really fun. Blackjack and Craps were on the agenda. I'm ready to hit the tables in Vegas now! All I need is some money to hit them with. :)
There was a huge storm and an accompanying power outage. Where would you NOT want to be during a power outage? The survey says...Elevator! That's right, my brother-in-law and I had just gotten into the elevator when the power outage occurred and believe me, I was a little worried for the few seconds that the lights were out. Luckily we were out of there within 2 minutes. It was one of those, "I hope I don't end up like that guy in the you tube video" moments. Ever see the guy who was stuck for 46 hours? I think I'd lose it eventually, if only for a few minutes.
We indulged and at at Nobu but I wasn't too impressed. The NYC location is better according to my bro-in-law and I'd have to think so. They were even out of kelp for the Kelp Salad. I offered to run out to the beach and get some but the waiter didn't think that would work. It was worth the laugh it got though.
It is a bit strange being at a resort because it's like living in a little microcosm of the entire place. There is a Market Village area but it is all owned or affiliated with the resort. We're looking forward to going over to Nassau and other places to check things out. Everything is geared at tourism though.
So far the Bahamas are pretty cool and give great opportunity for photos which is even better.
