Day 43 - Trip to Little Exuma

Today the weather started out terrible. It rained all last night and into this morning. We thought our trip to Little Exuma was going to be spoiled. However, that was not the case. The rained stopped around 9:30 a.m. and we departed from the marina at 10:00 a.m. There were several places we wanted to stop at but decided to go to the end of Little Exuma and work our way back. We stopped at the salt ponds and ruins and took several pictures.


The bridge to Little Exuma was single lane with the capacity of 3 tons, I hope that took into consideration the planks that repaired the bridge in the picture that is following.


On the way back, based on a recommendation, we stopped at a restaurant Club LaShante for lunch. It turned out to be one of the best we ate at. Following is a picture of Jan and Spike at the restaurant. It's not uncommon that most restaurants may look like houses or like places that you wouldn't patronize. Word of mouth is the best way to go.

We continued on to George Town and stopped at the Straw Market to do some shopping for our grandchildren. Then headed back to the marina. The last picture shows the tranquil environment of the marina while we had our first cocktail.

It seems like the more places we explore the environment only gets better. For example, we met two couples at Club LaShante, they are on a sailboat. We asked how did they got to the restaurant, they said they hitch-hiked. Unkown to us, in most islands other than New Providence, it is a common practice and very safe. To prove they were right, they were only 5 minutes behind us at the Straw Market in George Town. We are learning something every day!
