This is the Royal Towers complex, East
tower on the left, West tower on the right and the "imperial suites"
spanning the gap.
I really need a bigger lens....... |
 |
Looking out of our room, past
the East tower to the rest of the complex.
|
 |
One of the many
water attractions on the premises.
There is a water slide coming down the right side of
the structure that tunnels through a tank full of sharks.
Not something you see every
day....
|
 |
Stingrays in one of the many
pools throughout the complex.
Others contain sea turtles,
sharks and all kinds of sea borne wildlife.
|
 |
Sea turtles
They were looking for food but
the signs said not to feed them. |
| On our way to the
Dolphin Encounter on
Blue Lagoon Cay.
An amazing trip swimming with and interacting with
dolphins. |
 |
 |
All of the dolphins are free to leave if they so
desire but choose to stay. None of the performances are ever forced, if a
dolphin isn't in the mood to participate then they don't have to.
A refreshing change from some of the shows I've seen in
other facilities. |
|
Justin and AT getting pushed across the lagoon by a
pair of bottle nose dolphins. |
They come up behind you and put their melon (forehead)
against the sole of your foot and the next thing your know your up out of
the water. |
 |
Thursday was quite an adventure, a
Powerboat
Adventure in fact. Three V10 Daewoo turbo
diesels producing almost 2000hp between them. Fast.........uh, yeah it is. |
| Feeding the iguanas down in the Exuma
chain at the southern end of the Bahamas.
 |
JT and his new friend......... |
 |
Arriving at their private outpost for snorkeling,
feeding the 'rays, watching the sharks and a great BBQ.
Oh, and did I mention the rum punch..... |
 |
The stingrays swim right up to you and pull pieces of
fish out from between your fingers. The skin
feels like rough sandpaper. |
 |
Feeding time.........don't get in the way!

|
One of the island "watch dogs"......err, umm......pigs? |
