We arrived back to Miami during the morning but all the tours were cancelled due to the situation the night before. And the debarkation was chaotic but eventually we were on American ground again.
We took a taxi to the airport and managed to find a hotel that could keep our luggage for a few hours and also that arranged a new tour for us to replace the one that was cancelled. So we managed to go to see the Everglades and the gator park after all! A really nice lady who worked as a tour guide took very well care of us taking us back and forward to the park and dropped us off at the hotel after. Great!
A long wait at the airport (American airports are truly the most boring ones I’ve ever visited – no shops, terrible restaurants, nothing to do) and finally it was time to get on the plane back to Europe. First stop London.
Nassau
We arrived to the Bahamas during lunch time on our last day. After a bite to eat we went on two different tours – my parents-in-law went with our oldest to go on a guided tour. First they went on a catamaran trip and then a guided bus tour around the city of Nassau.
The rest of us went to the Atlantis paradise island for a few hours of relaxing in the sun on a sandy beach and swimming in the turquoise ocean. They also had a big aquarium called The Dig which was quite amazing. Filled with sharks, rays and other ocean fish. A great day!
We left Nassau in the evening to go back to Miami but the ship had to return to Nassau after a few hours due to an emergency. An 8-year-old child had a life-and-death situation – his heart stopped. So in order to save hens life the captain turned the ship around. It was a success and the child survived but we were 4 hours delayed which had consequences for the next day.
