Nice view from my bedroom, december 18th
December 19th, at night
December 21st.
Going snorkeling, december 22nd: the boat
and from the boat...
And finally, december 23rd.
San Salvador Island is the furthest island to the east of the Bahamas archipelago. Apparently, it was the first piece of land discovered by Columbus in 1492.
It was a US air force base for a while, supposedly there to relay satellites linked to Cape Canaveral, maybe also to just keep one little eye on the communist neighbor...
There is absolutely nothing on this island, besides a few houses and the resort we stayed at. The population reaches barely 1000 inhabitants, and the whole economy is linked to the resort.
Nothing to do but relax on a beautiful white-pinkish sand beach, maybe a little sailing or scuba-diving between two cocktails?
Tough life.
