I'm spending 7 hours in Nassau, Bahamas. What should I do.

So, i'm flying out tomorrow night from SF to Florida - Nassau, Bahamas. I already have an idea of what i'm going to do, but, if any of you have been there, feel free to suggest away, with things I should do.

I will only have 7 or so hours to spend there on the ground... and what i've stone-planned to do will only take maybe an hour out of that time. I might meet a NSer down there, if all goes that way, but do any of you have a sweet idea of what to do other than go to the beach, drink bacardi, and whatnot?

Nassau is sick- but i would be chill with bourdain shit- there are some nasty places in Nassau- ie heroin and coke dealers- no plumbing etc- stay where the toursits are by the port and you will have a blast

do what my parents do- ask the cabby- if this was your day off- where would you go?- you can find some nice ass shit like this

Lol. As if there arent heroin and coke dealers in the states...

They arent going to run up to you and stab you with a syringe, and then shove a crackrock up your nose, homie... hahaha.

Not true, they try to get you super addicted first, so when you come stumbling for crack and heroin you can recognize their face. That's how they build up a customer base.

You really shouldn't laugh this shit off. Parts of Nassau are really bad, pretty much where the white tourist shoudln't be. Stay close to Paradise Island, the straw market and cable beach and you will be fine. But if you wander to far from these areas you can be in trouble.

In the straw market I once caught someone with their hand in my pants pocket.....they ran away before I could say anything......My suggestion to avoid this:

No ones getting raped dude. It's kind of sketchy here but as long as you're not completely retarded and don't wander off into the ghetto you will not get fucked.

I am currently on the beach, drinking some crazy rum concoction, sorta feeling drunk, and its only 930 in the morning for me... and we already got pretty wastefaced on the planeride from florida...

Met 4 people on the plane that were all doing the same thing as me... one of them is letting me use their global internet which is AWESOME... and they know someguy who's down here who has some fatty house on a sugarcane plantation or something, and so we might go there or something and party... i dont know... but i'm tagging along with these fools!

but its like 80F degrees, i'm the whitest person on the island, and I am already having  a sick time.
