Abaco is very different from all the other islands we visited. It is progressive and already has taken advantage of many eco-tourism opportunities. It is a collection of many small islands or cays and each is unique and provides different opportunities for amusement and entertainment. We did get to island hop a little one day thanks to my gracious host and his awesome boat. This is definitely what it's all about here. We hung out mostly in Marsh Harbour while in the Abacos but during our hopping we visited Hope Town on Elbow Cay where we also toured to the top of the lighthouse. Here you also find the first and only roastery in the Bahamas at the Hope Town Coffee House. The owner, Andrew, is more than happy to show you the coffee bean roasting process. We hopped over to Lubber's Quarters for a bite at Cracker P's. The name has an interesting origin that I learned about in the historical museum in Hope Town. The lovely day continued as we hopped over to Man-O-War Cay to shop at Norman Albury Sail Makers Shop. Too cool off on the way back home we stopped to take a dip near Matt Lowes Cay. I can just summarize to say that the islands are beautiful; and they also provide innumerable restaurant/bars to grab a Sands beer in; great shops that are a part of the islands history as well and a never-ending adventure.
We must return to take in the experience that is the pig roast on a Sunday at Nippers on Great Guana Cay. I hear this is something not to be missed!
Let the fun continue, VTT BQ
