Batelco and Immigration

Sunny
A busy day - We wanted to change our SIM card in our I-phone so that we could use it in the Bahamas. It was explained to us that our I-phone was unlocked and we could easily obtain a Bahamas SIM card to give us access to the internet by using the cell towers here. We purchased the card and made the change. We now can get our necessary weather information from Passage Weather, Windfinder and couple of others. We would now have access to them everywhere except for the Exuma Land and Sea Park where there are no towers.

Getting this SIM card was more reasonable tham the Bahamas subscription service WI-FI. And we could get 2 GB data for $30/month. So we checked that box.

Next, was the immigration renewal.

The old immigration office where we checked in 14 years ago had been changed. The pink building is now the police station. Next, we thought it was the green building across from the town dock. No, wrong again. We discovered it is located near the Batelco office. So we back tracked and found the immigration office next to the Scotia Bank, upstairs on the second floor, all the way to the south end of the building.

Once the paperwork was completed and our passports were stamped, we felt relieved. We have another 90 days and we are free to sail the waters again.

Oh, made a quick stop at the grocery store and Steve purchased some Dark Myer's Rum at the liquor store, to make his new favorite drink, The Dark and Stormy.
