Seeing more of Great Exuma and Little Exuma

We did venture into Georgetown one day (well actually 3 days but 3 time lucky!) and rented a scooter for the day.  Great Exuma is around ? miles long, so first we hurtled off south, Amanda hanging on tightly on the back.  We passed through a couple of settlements including Rolle Town and Ferry which were made up of a couple of houses and churches .  We crossed the Bridge onto Little Exuma, here we stopped in Williams Town at Mom’s Baker which is renowned with the cruisers so we had to buy a cake and enjoy a drink at Santanta Bar and Grill, we believe they have had a range of famous visitors in the past with the cast and crew from Pirates of the Caribbean.  But the only people we were joined by were a couple of cute local kids who were exceptionally chatty.

Savanna's funky beach bar

Mom;s Bakery is actually just a small building attached to house - oh and there is Mark by our lovely little scooter

We were then back on the scooter and heading north, stopping at the Tropic of Cancer beach, it was beautiful but unfortunately no time to take a dip. 

What a beach

We whizzed north back through Geroge Town through a few small resorts at Hoopers Bay, there is one main road from north to south so we couldn’t really get lost.  We reached the luxurious Sandals Resort at Rockers Point, there is also a marina here at Emerald Bay.  We had been recommended Big D’s Conch Spot so here we stopped for lunch. 

Big D's

What was we had met a lovely French couple Isabelle and Michael a few days early, the have a Centurion 45 and we had chatted to them at the anchorage and they had invited us of for Ti Punch.  They had recommended that we visit Big D’s and as we turned up they also arrived! They were staying at the marina as had some visitors and had a car for the day so were also out for lunch, it was really nice to see them again.

We had an enjoyable lunch of fish burger, it was made from Snapper and was very tasty.  The beach here was stunning and it was nice to just relax and admire the view.

Yep another amazing beach, this really was a great location to have lunch
