A few weeks ago, LW and I went on a cruise to the Bahamas leaving out of Miami.
The cruise stopped in Nassau and we took an excursion around Nassau. Here are the pictures from that excursion.
I love seeing all the churches in places we visit.
Fort Fincastle and the Queen's Staircase
LW enjoying a Bahama Mama.
Our tour also stopped at Atlantis.
We visited a Rum Cake Store and a rum distillery.
The other stop was at Royal Caribbean's port called Cococay. We reserved a beach bed and spent the day being lazy on the beach. I loved it!
Towel animals left by our room steward each day.
After the cruise, we spent a few days in the Keys. Our hotel was in Key Largo and had a view of the bay with a tiki hut with a bartender on duty every afternoon.
There were so many iguanas/lizards/geckos roaming around!
These birds followed the iguanas around.
Loved these cups available at breakfast.
On Monday before we flew home we spent the afternoon at Zoo Miami. We rode a 2 person "bike" around the zoo. It was a fun and interesting way to get around.
Here are my animal pictures.
More iguanas
Check out the teeth!
Not sure if you can read the sign for these animals but guess what? LW couldn't either. When I asked what do we have here? LW responded, "Small Wild Ass." Well, the sign actually says Somali Wild Ass. We laughed and joked asking whether or not the animals had to stand that way with their asses facing us since they were "Small Wild Ass."
Here is the sign at the exit. This made me laugh as well.
So LW and I decided we needed to explore Texas. We have dubbed these travels as "Tour de Texas." We went on a day trip recently.
We began by checking our the Chapel Dulcinea near Driftwood. This chapel can be used free of charge for weddings.
Other sights near the Chapel.
Then we headed to Wimberley to The Blue Hole. We did not get in the water but we did take a short hike around the area. Here are a few things we spotted.
Afterwards we grabbed a bite to eat and headed to the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch. This was the highlight of our day. You drive through the ranch in your car. You get a bag of animal food with admission. Here are my favorite pictures and videos from the drive.
Check out this giraffe's tongue!
I see you in there.
This zebra stuck his whole head in the car window and pulled out the bag of animal food. Unfortunately I stopped the video before the bag came out.
Look at that face.
LW made a new friend.
Hee haw
Not sure what this guy is trying to tell me.
We also made a quick stop in downtown New Braunfels at Naegelins's Bakery, the oldest in Texas.
Here is the Comal County courthouse.
Then we drove to Lockhart to check out Flash Candy & Toys, the Caldwell County courthouse, and have BBQ for dinner. We decided to try Smitty's. It did not disappoint.
Stayed tuned for more adventures on our Tour de Texas.
