You know what they say, "A bad day in the Bahamas is still better than a good day at home..." At least from now on, that's what I say...
Despite all of our outgoing flights being cancelled at the last minute due to the snow in NYC, despite driving nine and a half hours to two different airports to catch two cancelled flights, despite dropping an extra 400$ on unexpected hotels rooms in cities like Syracuse New York and Nassau, when we finally arrived on Tuesday morning rather than Sunday afternoon, Lochabar was a tropical oasis unlike any any we had ever seen....The water was as clear as a swimming pool for miles and our view was only ever impeded by the sunlight reflecting off the water.
The locals complained all the time about how cold it was (we were there during a cold snap), but the coldest day was probably about 20 and by the end of the week I am sure the temperature was up to almost 30, but there was always a nice breeze which made getting a scorching sunburn a cinch!
When we did venture into town for groceries or island fare, the people were very warm and kind and with the exception for hundreds of roaming goats and sheep, there was almost no "wildlife" to speak of.
Sadly, on the way home we lost our camera which was full of great pics, so I only have these three two show you. Its probably for the best; I hear the weather here was one of the coldest weeks this winter...
