Windermere Island

This trip is going to be all islands in the Bahamas. Today I am stopping at Windermere Island, a small beachy island. The island has many vacation homes and the legendary Windermere Island Club. Diana of Wales vacationed at this island and the paparazzi snapped the famous photo of her pregnant here.

The island was also the sight of Mariah Carey's wedding to Nick Cannon in 2008. Mariah Carey has a private house on Windermere island. The island is 5 and a half miles long, and most celebrities use it as a getaway from paparazzi.

I went scuba diving again, but I did it for a reason. Jacques-Yves Cousteau, who visited the island, named the reef that runs for 5 miles around the island, one of the two most beautiful reefs in the world. I saw why almost immediately. The fish were colorful and the coral was vibrant, and the sandy bottom set it off perfectly. I was amazed.

I went back to my hotel and ate at the little cafeteria they had for dinner. I then went up to my room for an early night. I had learned a lot about Windermere island. I was quite pleased with my journey.
