Serious Paradise


Guidebooks can be very deceiving, they talk about pristine beaches, pink sands, turquoise waters, "picturesque" towns and you end up looking at shacks by the water. Harbour Island on North Eleuthera however has outdone all our expectations. The town is indeed picturesque and full of character and the beach is UNBELIEVABLE!!! If you ever have money to spare and maybe a long weekend the Pink Sands resort in Harbour Island is the best investment. We went with two other couples in the high speed ferry that comes from Nassau and spent the day there: walked around town, had drinks at 11 am on the terrace of the Pink Sands, overlooking the sea and pretending we were staying there (we figured if we got a room we could have two hours per couple like the watches on the boat during overnights that's all we could afford). Then we walked on the beach and had lunch at a lovely place on the other side of the island overlooking the sound. On the way back we hired a water taxi.

Unfortunately the only internet connection here in Spanish Wells where we are, is my blackberry so I cannot post photos but I will as soon as I can. Tomorrow morning we leave for Hatchet Bay. Judging from what the guide says I doubt we'll have internet but we' ll see.

Apparently the weather is going to turn on the next few days, especially Thursday, if anybody finds any information we would appreciate it!
