Queen's Staircase and Water Tower

Inside the Water Tower

Merchants take every opportunity to try and sell you something, even in this serene sanctuary. My friend Karen and I ended up with beach towels for $9 which is actually a steal!

These are pictures of the Queen's staircase. Apparently, the history is that for every year of her reign, there is a hand made step out of stone. It's beautiful...and if it were a little easier to get to I might actually run these steps for a little exercise. The water tower which was apparently to bring water to the islanders is right at the top of the stairs, so you'll see those as well.

I actually went to the Queen's Staircase a few weeks ago. I just realized that I hadn't uploaded any pictures yet. Hope i don't throw off anyone's sense of order, but then again, it's kind of the bahamian way of doing things!
