Harbour Island Day Two: Feasting & Beaching

Since our last day was a shorter one as we had to be on the boat by 3:30 the pictures are much less. Day two was more of a day of feasting and catching up but we of corse got some beach in before we left. We had the typical Bahamian dishes starting the day off with Tuna and Grits with homemade bread and guava jam. That jam was like God's gift. Shortly after we hit the beach for a little and saw some of the set up for the wedding before we left. Finally went to Harry O's by the dock which in fact had the best crack conch I've ever eaten in my life and I've had a good amount of it. It melted in our mouths but I didn't put my fork down long enough to get a photo, my bad. Definitely my number one eating recommendation for H.I. Next to Harry O's was Queen Conch where everyone else got conch salad which was also excellent. Finally it was time to bid adieu to our little last minute getaway and head back to the capital. Until next time Harbour Island.

Harbour Island/ Pink Sands: Day One

So this is day one Harbour Island, Eleuthera. It is such a gorgeous place.  Drink it in for a second................. Ok back to reality. Pink Sands beach is amazing, one of the best in the world. What makes it so unique? Well it has pink sand, hence the name and endless clear blue water that you can walk out a good amount before it becomes too deep. What makes the sand pink? The tons of coral and conch shells knocking against reefs and breaking up into little particles, pretty neat huh? Every time I visit it's equally breath taking. My friends and I decided to take a 2 day trip over to the little island as Amanda was planning and decorating a wedding at the Pink Sands Resort and the rest of us jumped at the chance for pink sand, some solid Bahamian food and a tan. The sun in Harbour Island is honestly hotter than Nassau. I don't know how or what it is but it feels 100x stronger, which was exactly what I was looking for. Also tried mango rum for the first time and it is delicious! You can drink it straight as it's so tasty but we mixed it with mango juice and let me tell you it was solid, definitely add that to your list if you like sweet drinks. Anyway these are a few pictures which ended up being a good amount scenery, which I went a little to camera happy with. Enjoy and get your ass to Harbour Island! Look out for day two.

Highly over priced in my eyes and the service isn't good either.
 The good things: the conch chili but mostly the lime green building and cobalt blue shutters.

Um. Hi!

Best Conch Fritters right off the dock.
