Our Long Island Adventure – Part 2 – Long Island Bahamas, February 24, 2022

The day we rented the car, we tried to cover as much of the island as we could, so we also checked out Dean’s Blue Hole near the caves.  There is the Bahamian Free Diving contest help there each year.  We saw a plaque of all the diver’s who had lost their life trying to do this.  Very sad.

 We then went to the Columbus Monument, on the north side.  It was a great look view and was very nice the see the monument itself was not only dedicated to Christopher Columbus but the Lucayan people as well. 

We also drove over some “Costa Rica Roads” to get to Adderly’s Plantation Ruins.  After a nerve-racking drive and one small scratch on the car (not the like the wombat sized issue we had in Australia), we arrived.  As our luck would have it…the ruins (as nearly all Bahamian ruins seem to be) were nearly nonexistent.  It was supposed to be nine buildings and the online photos were kind of a bait and switch.  Here is what we ended up seeing.  You can also sprinkle in some poison wood trees on the hike.

With the sun starting the set, a sundowner was calling out name. 

We passed the next few days with boat projects, and I have to say, our stainless is looking quite fabulous!  We also decided to leave a souvenir behind at Sou’ Side Bar & Grill.  If you see the Ohio plates, think of us!
