  • This trap is one my sister and I experienced. We were at the Straw Market and decided buy "2" Beach towels. The towels were hanging up. After He took the 2 towels down she wanted , She PAID for them. With the towels still in his hands, He said ,“Oh let me find you a bag.” They seemed to be looking for a bag. THEN the next thing you know He was 5 rows over and thought they had dumped She and I. He didn’t know my husband followed him (looked like the womens son who ran the booth) and he told the guy “Forget the bag and give me the towels. He seemed pretty surprised. He handed over the towels with a “OK you got me look”.

    At Least Do This: Don't hand over your money unless you have what you want in your hand.
    Alternative: If you have been taken Let EVERYONE around there know. The other people who work there don't want to have a bad name..There are some good people there too.

     Nassau has some interesting things to see and do, but I thought it was a little too "touristy" for my tastes.

     Excellent page! You make me wanna go to the Bahamas right now. Actually, Karen and I are taking a Caribbean cruise, coming up in three weeks. It will be our first, and I can hardly wait.
