December 25, 2010 - Treasure Cay, The Bahamas
Stocking by the fire of course
After our long journey and many adventures to get to this new country, we needed a rest. What better excuse than some Christmas celebrations.
Richard visited for Christmas
We were joined for 2 weeks by Richard (Diane's Dad). Richard joined us in Marsh Harbour, unfortunately without his luggage, so we waited a couple of days for it and found the time to stop up on bottles of Christmas cheer, mainly rum and Baileys. After no luggage was forthcoming Richard bought a shirt and we set of for Treasure Cay.
Windy Boxing day in the Bahamas
The weather was expected to be quite windy around Christmas so we found a good spot in the middle of the Treasure Cay Marina resort, battened down the hatches and hung up our stockings.
Christmas presents
Christmas was spent opening all our lovely presents and scattering the content around the boat.
Christmas dinner with al the trimmings
Di made us a fantastic turkey dinner with all the trimmings. In case you are wondering its not a pint of Baileys, we just don't have a gravy boat. Baileys came later.
Beers in a beach bar on a chilly boxing day
On Boxing day we headed out to a local bar for a beer and lunch. Richards luggage finally arrived so he could change out of that shirt.
Traditional walk on the beach at Christmas
We enjoyed a short walk on the Treasure Cay beech, meant to be one of the top 10 beeches in the world. With the white sand and turquoise water it was OK, but we found many more places just as nice, but unspoilt by development and tourists.
