On our Way to the Bahamas | FroeWi on Tour

Raghav dropped us off at the airport of Atlanta early in the morning on the 12th of May. The lady at the Delta Airlines check-in gave us a hard time. She was either stupid or just really unfriendly at least she couldn’t or wouldn’t tell us if our luggage would be checked through to our final destination (Rock Sound). After a 10 minute discussion we gave up and ask someone else at the information desk.

In Nassau (Capital of the Bahamas) we had a regular stop-over for 3 hrs. Due to the delay of our airplane we “gained” two extra hours. We used them for some selfies (have a guess which pictures I mean).

Rock Sound at Eleuthera island, an outer island of the Bahamas, was reached with a propeller plane. The view from the plane was fantastic, white beaches, turquoise water and small islands as well as coral reefs. The altitude was only 5.500 ft (1.700 m) so that everyone on the plane had an amazing view.

Rock Sound airport is veeery small, it only futures one runaway and a single building with one room. Lagguage is picked up just outside the building directly from the cart by the passangers themselfs.

As soon as we left the airport a man walked straight up to us and ask if we were Niels and Eva. Until than we weren’t to sure how to identify the agent we rented our car from, but some problems just solve themselfs 😉 This was a nice surprise but still a bit suspicious. However, he had spelled the name “Niels” correct on his paperwork. For the drop-off we were told to leave the keys in the car under the floormat. Now we only needed pay the 340 USD in cash (!) and drive from the very south to the north of the island. After a one hour drive on the left side Surfers Haven Hostel showed up at the road. It’s a very basic but relaxing accommodation and we are the only guests at the moment. The weather forecast for the next days is really really bad. But we will make the best out of it.

The following pictures are without comments for obvious reason 😉
