We are back home from the cruise, and what a great cruise it was. The weather was great and the ocean was calm all week. We should have enough stuff to blog about for quite a while. We left the port in Ft. Lauderdale on Sunday and arrived in Freeport, Bahamas on Monday. Our shore excursion was a jeep tour of the island. Driving on the left side of the road took some getting used to.
We first went to see some dolphins, then some of the local houses, then we went 4 wheeling though the countryside.
We stopped at a place called a "blue hole" which is a huge vertical cave filled with fresh water on top and salt water down deep. It is connected to the sea which is a few miles away and the water level changes with the tides.
Then we hiked through a mangrove swamp.
There, we saw many fish including Nemo.
We had lunch on a beautiful beach and spent the afternoon there before driving back to the ship that evening.
We'll post more pictures on the www.countrydrive.com website and tell more about our adventures on the next blog.
