Hello, and welcome to Nassau, Bahamas: a bit of sunny subtropical paradise in the Atlantic, just off the coast of Florida. The name Bahamas is supposed to come from Spanish Baja Mar, low tide, because the sea is shallow here. The different degrees of depth make for a whole range of colors, from turquoise to deep blue. I spent only a few days there, so my tour is far from exhaustive, but I did want to share some of the colorful beauty with you, so here we go ...
In case this is your first tour with me, let me introduce myself, my name is Jean-Pierre van Noppen and I work at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (Brussels, Belgium) at the English Linguistics Department. If you want to learn more about me click here
