"Return" to Abaco Island, Bahamas

[connoisseur series500]

Here's a picture of the lighthouse interior. Can you imagine being inside all alone at the very tip of the uninhabited island? The ghosts would be screaming their tales.

I got these pictures from an Abaco forum. An intrepid visitor or local had gone down there and taken them. Wonderful pics!

Found this on youtube. Someone took a video of the road leading to Hole in the Wall. Our logging road appeared to be more overgrown on the bottom than this road, though there is more growth here on the sides and above. We didn't have fronds hitting the windshield.

I can't identify the blue hole where these guys dive, because there are several of them in Abaco, but the logging road they took to get there is similar to ours. In fact, I was also hoping to find one of these blue holes while driving south. I was told that one of the logging roads would take us to it, but there were no markings, so you'd have to luck out and select the right road if you are to locate it.

The entire coastline on that side must be riddled with caves. What a beautiful place. Maui and Big Sur are the only two places I've been with similar formations.

Wow... I'm blown away! Great stories and photos! What a great trip! Trips like these make life so sweet and recharge our batteries...

Fascinating travelogue and personal remembrances. Thanks for sharing.

This was the next thing I was going to ask you about! Great recount Paul. It is such a great island, left to its own accord. Thinking about development on that island is sickening.

Came across this nice shot of the lighthouse at Hole in the Wall from the Abaco forum.
