Half Moon Cay: HAL’s Own Private Island

Holland America owns an island in the Bahamas and their ships frequently stop there. It’s a very manicured, polished and pristine spot and its purpose is to make this beauty  accessible to all, including older and handicapped passengers. There are large tenders that take people painlessly from ship to the island and large pathways to lead the way to the various areas.

 I spent a few hours there in the afternoon taking photos and participating in the barbecue lunch.  It sort of reminded me of Disneyland: better than the best, shielding us from the harsh reality of everyday life – in short, a perfect vacation spot. We have to return to the real world soon enough. Escapism can be therapeutic.

  1. Looks like a very pleasant place! Good photo of you … Christmas card? Also like the little yellow/blue hut.

    1. Christmas card..maybe. Time has stood still but now I realize I have to get home, start wrapping and mailing gifts and finish my holiday card. It will probably end up being a New Year‘s card. It will be a quiet Christmas this year.

    1. Yes, aren’t they gorgeous?! The day started out overcast but actually made for more interesting images..then the sea turned two shades of blue..wow!
