0:03 The Leap of Faith slide at the Atlantis water park. A steep drop then a quick trip through a shark infested pool. 0:12 We got these coconuts from a nice kid named Sam who was chopping them open with a machete and collecting the milk to sell. 0:14 The Queen's Staircase, carved out of solid rock by former slaves to honor Queen Elizabeth when she freed them. 0:16 We swam with pigs in the Exumas at Big Major Cay. If you want to see a lot more, go back two videos ago. 0:20 At the western edge of New Providence looking off the cliff and down to LIla below. 0:23 This is our friend Jeremiah. He made a really nice conch salad and grouper fry. He's pulling a slimy conch out of its shell here before he diced it up in the salad. It was delicious! 0:25 I'm ascending the pirate steps. These were carved out of the limestone by pirates a few hundred years ago and were used to smuggle slaves and cargo in and out of New Providence. 0:28 This giant throne made of shells sits outside the Pirate Cave. I think I make a great pirate king. 0:30 Shawn is the (self appointed?) official caretaker and historian of the Pirate Cave. This cave once house Arawak Indians back in the days of Columbus. Pirate stored booty in here as well, even Blackbeard himself once hid some treasure in here. 0:32 snorkeling 0:34 A shark swimming right outside the tube we were passing through at the Atlantis water park. 0:36 I can't remember this guy's name but he put on quite a show. He did the limbo and caught himself on fire lots of times. It was awesome. 0:38 I love Lila. This is on the western cliff edge of New Providence not far from the Pirate Steps. 0:40 The ruins of a plantation in the Clifton Heritage Park. 0:43 Cruise ships coming in and out. 0:45 This bus driver was wild. He owned the road. We also talked him into taking us to places off his normal route. As you can see, they drive on the left in the Bahamas. 0:50 We fed iguanas at Allans Cay. The island is covered with them. If you want to see more, go back two videos for better and more footage. 0:52 Swimming with nurse sharks in Compass Cay. They were super friendly. They like to swim by you and get petted by you. 0:55 A Junkanoo parade. We saw a few of these and loved them. It sorta reminded us of New Orleans. The music you hear in this video is recorded from this Junkanoo band. 0:58 The flag of the Bahamas in downtown Nassau.
