Kira: Today we moved to our new location. We were all pretty excited to get to our villas, located on a remote, ~2 acre property backing up to Fresh Creek. After we settled in, we walked a few miles to our first blue hole. Blue holes are like freshwater lakes formed by underground caves. The water was so clear and warm, walking up the trail to the blue hole was surreal. There was also a deck roughly 20 feet above the water to jump off of. Gathering the courage to jump off the deck was certainly a team building experience (half support, half pressure). This was my first time jumping from any elevated platform into a body of water, and while I screamed the whole way down, I am incredibly happy I was “encouraged” to take the jump. After the blue holes, we came back to the villas and a few people decided to take a shower. The water here, unfortunately, smells like sewage, making us question whether we’d be cleaner before or after the shower. Regardless, even questionable water can’t bring us down.
Jennifer: Today we moved to these villas that are in a more isolated location than the apartments. The environment is different than how most people think of the typical Bahamas; for example, we are surrounded by pine trees instead of palm trees. We took a hike to a blue hole, which I had never seen before. We jumped off a dock into the water and swam around which was a really cool experience. It was interesting because we ran into two people who were actually from New York which led me to believe that perhaps Andros is more of a tourist location than I previously thought. Maybe people go to Andros for the “true” Bahamas experience rather than the manufactured one that occurs on Nassau.
