Freeport Bahamas

what a beautiful sky it's a good morning from the Bahamas stewartson Paul here your usual presenter Jean flies in today with a host of other entertainers this is a poor look at the ship there that's in for refurbishment we'll see that in more detail in a moment we're going into Freeport the Norwegian sky is beating us in so we have enough time for breakfast on day here's a ship that's actually being refurbished here because as I said it is a port a working port so as we step over the ship the carpark is where you will find the exit in taxis and the buses to take you either to the beach or to the town in inverted commas it really is just a shopping center but from the town you can go to a beach some people never venture beyond the quite lively bars on the port the music in the background is from a film I made the Universal Pictures it's the film starring status quo as called polar cover the shot in Fiji so he's a taxi bus and that's the queue to the beach and on the other side here's the queue to town so the taxis drop you off here and they give you a return ticket whether you want one or not six dollars each way is $12 per person there is music everywhere as you would expect from the county so you're dropped off at this main shopping area but it doesn't get busy and lively until the afternoon so maybe it's a good idea to do these short walk to the beach spend the morning on the beach then come back to see this particular area when it does get lively and then you are near the coach to return to the ship or take you to the beach in a moment but if you're not a beach person let's walk through to the port where you'll find fishy glass-bottom boat are actually just a nice walk there's also a dolphin experience [Music] okay for you beach lovers less talking about the beaches you can actually get a ferry here to Venice Beach or you can simply walk to one which we suggest you do first thing so the important thing to look for here is the police station okay let's get this right just in case you're the first person off to the beach in the morning and everybody's decided to follow you you can do this in confidence because if you stand at the shopping center with the shopping center behind you the road in front of you you need to turn right within a hundred yards you'll see the police station there is a metal fence in front of you literally turn left it looks nothing but there's a an alleyway you certainly wouldn't want to walk down at night but that alleyway is the way to the beach it's about 15 yards long the beach is then evident just as you come out of this little alleyway by lunchtime they will be barbecuing fish and there we guys walking around selling cold beers there are facilities on the beach and this tends to be a walking picture some people walking up and down and they'll walk back to the shopping center and get the bus back to the port don't forget we have lots of films on doris visit sport guides for just about everywhere you might want to visit and please take a look at my crime novels is not little crimes they're big crimes that happen on ships and you wouldn't even know they're happening [Music]
