This morning about 1a I heard lots of motor sounds and went to look. It was a pilot boat either dropping off or picking up someone. This took time so I shut the door because of the noise. John was sleeping great, I was still awake at 4a.
We were up with our coffee delivery and made it to our stop about 45 minutes early. There was a slight glitch...The cruise ship stays on central time and Nassau is on Eastern time. Oh boy, we missed our tour! Tyrone from Tyrone Wilson's VIP Taxi and Tours helped us. We will definitely book the $30 tour with him next time we come. It is not really a food tour but you get tastes of things and he just helped us so much, what a nice man. He called the tour company we had and let me use his phone. There was a mix up but it was the fault of both parties. I should have checked this, but they should say the tour time is EST, not just 10:30a. As it turned out Dwight and Sandy came and picked us up and gave us the complete tour on a personal level. I suggested they could skip things but they insisted the full tour was in order. If they were annoyed, it never showed. What a fun time we had. Conch Salad (like ceviche) was the first item. It was fresh and delicious. This guy had amazing knife skills! I pulled the Conch out of the shell after he cracked it. Conch tastes like abalone to me.
Rum Cake - soaked in rum. This was a way the slaves could partake of alcohol since it was illegal for slaves to have alcohol.
Tea tasting and bush medicine information. Dwight our guide is informative and FUN too!
Lunch with Tamarind Chicken, Fried Conch, and Fried Swai fish - also Rice and peas, and coleslaw - all of it was delicious!
Back onboard in time to rest up a bit then off to dinner with Marlys and Dennis. Delicious and great conversation. It is nice to share Brazil memories with others who have adopted as well. After dinner there was a great show with a band called the Long Run, which does an Eagle's tribute, they were really good. Back to our cabin and prepping for tomorrow's tour!
