Not even nine am yet, and it's already hot out here... I'm trying to figure when Joe's Conch Shack opens so I can plan my day today. They don't seem to have a website or anything. I remember last time when I got there they weren't even open yet, and I had to wait. 

Just checked on google, has 10am as opening time. Enjoy

When we went a few months ago we had found a 10am open on Google but they showed up about 10:30.  So delicious!

Island time! So good though. worth waiting for. And the Kalik is cold.

I had considered renting one of those golf carts here so I could explore more of the island, but I've read nightmare stories about being broken down in the side of the road. Running out of gas. And, even being charged for pre existing damage... I've got enough problems without all that. I think I'll just walk...

Lol exactly! 

 

@sid_9169 on your walk there I recommend a pit stop at Stuarts to grab a bottle of their knockout rum punch. It's basically a boozy smoothie and is refreshing and delicious in the heat. I love that stuff, but they were closed last time we went.

I really only have two main goals here today. Walk down to Joe's Conch Shack for some conch salad, fritters, and maybe lobster if they have it. Next, go over to the beach club and have a swim in the ocean. I'm sure that by the time I get there all the prime seating will be gone, but I really just need someone to watch my bag while I go in the water. 

They will have lobster at Ebby and Pat’s. As you are going to Joe’s, it’s on the left. It’s closer to the resort world area. You can see my bathroom shark. 😁

Getting my go bag ready to head out for adventure number one...

Wish I was in Bimini today. Enjoy! Love that island. 

[sid_9169]

I haven't heard any announcements this morning about going to shore, but that's not unusual. I'm going to go upstairs now and look over the edge to see if people are leaving...

[sid_9169]

And, we're off!

 

 

[sid_9169]

Check out that booty! I mean, beauty...

You can get the Golf Carts for $60 if you haggle.

Sid, did I just see you get beeped at by a security van while you were taking a picture?

That was me... I wasn't outside the boundary by any means, but these dock worker's let what little bit of power go straight to their head... I got got yelled at leaving this morning as well...

[sid_9169]

I'm back on the ship now from part one of my day here in Bimini, and it was half successful I suppose... I left here and walked down the long pier towards the land, then took a left, going the opposite direction of the beach club. No sidewalks here, so it's a little treacherous at times. You have to remember that they drive on the wrong side of the road here and keep a lookout. I tried to walk in the shade when it was available, but there wasn't much. I brought my cap to keep my head from getting sunburned.

 

 

 

 

 

[sid_9169]

It's a pretty long walk to where I was heading, but I'm used to walking in the heat back in Atlanta. I passed a little school then a cemetery... Took a walk through there to the ocean side.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[sid_9169]

Soon I came to Ebbie and Pat's, but they turned out not to be open yet. I took a few pictures and said I'd come back later... This turned out to be not such a great idea, but we'll get to that...

[sid_9169]

Since they weren't open, I continued down the road. I guess that this is when I came to the cemetery...

Looked like you were in the way of them driving down the ramp to get to the little building...possibly a bathroom. 

[sid_9169]

Finally, I could see Joe's Conch Shack up in the distance. A tour tram had just passed me, and I was praying they wouldn't stop there. Spoiler alert: they did...

 

Fortunately, they followed the tour guide around back to watch Joe clean the conch... I placed my order for a conch salad and some fritters, plus two bottles of water, since they don't have portable water here on the ship.

I walked around back where the tour people were watching Joe clean the conch.
