Bahamas Day 3

So today was quite the adventure for us... Holy COW! From caves, to kayaking thru a mangrove forest, to feeding a raccoon in my lap, to amazing beaches, you'll see it all here!
We booked a tour to do a Kayak nature tour to the National Park here. We heard Gold Rock beach was amazing, and it was part of the tour so we booked it.
We started off hikig to caves, that were filled with BATS! I could not get a very good picture inside the cave, but those black little dots on the 2nd picture, are BATS!





After that we got on then Kayaks and thru the mangrove forest... it got way narrow in places, and we kept getting stuck in the trees. We had a hard time getting the kayak to move where we wanted it to, but it was fun anyway..



So when we finished our Kayaking, we ended at gold rock beach, where we had a picnic lunch, and we arrived to find some SUPER friendly guests, who wanted to eat our food! RACCOONS! These raccoons were so crazy. One crawled up on my lap and ate food out of my hand!! I was so scared they were going to bite me or scratch me, but they were really just like a cat or a dog.
Check out the video!





After our raccoon encounter we were amazed at Gold Rock Beach-- it was GORGEOUS. Probably the prettiest and cooloest looking beach I've ever seen. It has really high tide, but the water is not deep, you can walk out for like a mile, and it doesn't get past your knees. And the water was so warm, it felt like a hot tub. It was just one of the coolest places either of us has ever been to. We were in the sun all day long, and even though we put on sunscreen, we both got FRIED.
