Bimini, Bahamas, 10.20-22.17

A short visit to Bimini in the Bahamas on 10/20/17 to 10/22/17. It was my first time in the island but I enjoyed my stay there.

 

Bimini is the closest point of the island nation of the Bahamas to the mainland United States. The island is so small, w an area of only 8 miles, that the airplane has to land in the neighboring North Bimini island, then we took a small ferry towards Bimini.

 

We had a beautiful sunrise on our full day in the island. The clouds look like a dragon w the sun in it's mouth, it looked like ti was breathing fire! Then we went around the island, our mode of transportation was the hotel golf cart. I love the colorful paint of the houses. We also visited Dolphin House created by Bimini native Ashley Saunders. Everything that comprises this house is recycled – leftover construction materials from resorts, private homes and churches, and debris from the beach. While we were there, Mr. Saunders pointed out a hummingbird, my first time to see one!

 

The turquoise waters around the island look so inviting. We even found a shipwreck! There were also lots of conch shell lying around the beach, the island is famous for its conch salad, which tasted great!
