A day in Nassau

The weather was hotter and drier today although it did remain overcast for most of the day.  After breakfast I caught the ferry into Nassau where I attended lawyers near Government House to execute some documents in connection with a probate estate I am currently dealing with as an executor.  After that meeting I met up with the rest of the family at the Straw Market.  We had a cold drink in Burger King and then walked up to the Queen's Steps and Fort Fincastle for the fantastic view over New Providence and Paradise Island.  After stopping off at the GPO to post cards, we walked back down into Bay Street for lunch and then caught the ferry back.  This afternoon I felt really poorly - headache and stuffed up nose and sore throat.  Decided to go to bed this afternoon and shake off the illness.  Tomorrow we have an early start as we are due to go out to the Exumas on a power boat.  Tonight the weather forecast is not too goo - Hurricane Rina is going to hit Mexico and a tropical storm is predicted for The Bahamas.  We also heard from Sara's brother Adam that his house in Thailand has been severely flooded.  What is with this weather at the moment!  Watched a programme on tornado chasing this evening as there is no baseball on tonight.  Also followed Southampton's fourth round tie against Crystal Palace in the Carling Cup.  a 2-0 defeat for Saints - an unusual occurrence at the moment.
