Norman's Cay

Today we ventured to Norman's Cay, this little island was formerly under the control of drug lord Carlos Lehder and in fact you'll find an almost totally submerged aircraft from his drug running days.  Norman's is a quaint little island with a few private homes and one restaurant / bar called Norman's Cay Beach Club.  The island also has an airstrip for private and chartered planes.

We had the pleasure of meeting Stephan, the proprietor of Norman's Cay Beach Club.  He filled us in on the island history and served us up some scrumptious food.  We had their twist on a Bahamian staple Conch Chowder with a Thai Twist.  This served alongside one of the best burgers we've ever had.   Perhaps food just tastes better in paradise!

We took Little Girl for a cruise around the island and saw the sunken airplane, some caves and other breathtaking views.   We departed Norman's and headed back to Highborne Cay.
