On Monday visited some historical sites
As entering the gorge leading to Queen's Staircase,
got a good briefing of local history
by a local young man
- all the guides in Nassau are telling that they work for free
but would be happy for some tips...
- anyway he was good and got an interesting story of Bahamian history
.
Queen's Staircase
- 66 steps leading to Fort Fincastle were cut
into the limestone hill and bricked up by slaves
- today 65 steps remain
- built in 1928 as a water-supply reservoir
- it was closed now,
asked the ladies outside when would it be open:
