In this edition, I am remembering a #MarketFriday post from a couple years ago when I visited a market in Mexico on vacation. Then, trying to reproduce it this year on Coco Cay in the Bahamas.
I still have tales to tell from my Grapplers Escape cruise late last month but one of our stops was an island in the Bahamas. From the top of the ship, you can see the clear ocean water and an island full of sun and fun.
With the hot weather, merciful cloud cover and breeze through the palm trees, it very well could be the perfect day.
Before getting to any island market, I had to make a stop at the beach. The water was warm and the floating bar surrounded by sun shelters, I almost didn't want to leave. Moments like these keep you warm in long Canadian winters.
Still, there is work to do and you can't laze on the beach all day. Let's check this map and see where the market is. Up thatta way past Chill Beach, and just before Chill Island Cabanas. Sounds pretty chill!
Success! We have found the Island Market! Surely this can't be the whole thing? An island whose sole purpose is to soak cash out of rich people by selling them drastically marked up bullshit. This is all you have for a market?
Yep! Another hot walk to where the real market must be turned out to be another small portable with only beach wear and accessories. I already had my hat, 50, and flippy floppies so I just kept rolling back to the boat.
Not before one more beach beverage. Truly barely passable beer here but it all goes down alright on a beach in the Mediterranean.
Despite the slight market disappointment, it was the perfect day after all as we enjoyed the relaxing day at the beach. The ship was about done talking with her twin sister and ready to welcome us back on board. Floating hotels full of buffets and a market of its own. Not a bad Friday.
