Sneaking Into Atlantis

To get to Atlantis, Brian and I talked to several over priced taxi drivers before joining forces with two expat women and getting a group rate. We didn’t really know what we would do when we got there, so we just started wandering. There was a pool and a free aquarium. We got into the newer towers and passed through the casino without making a donation to the hotel. We got further along and then were told we’d have to show our room key to pass through. Too bad.
So we went back and up through some elevators to try and get a look at a hotel room. Up to the top floor and then down the hall. Then up six flights of stairs and through a “crew area” and back into the hall. There was a made cleaning the room at the end, and at first we walked by, but then Brian went back to ask if we could see in. I was so sure she’d say no, but I learned it never hurts to ask. She let us in and we took pictures from the balcony. We could see the entire water park, the ocean, even our ship.
We walked back down the hall, but the elevator only went to floor two. Strange, so we found some stairs and went down to one. And then we were inside the water park. Of course, you are supposed to have a wristband or something to be in there, but we just walked around taking pictures and no one said anything. It was so ridiculously hot and a dip in one of the many many pools would have been nice, but I wasn’t wearing my suit. Next time I’ll know better.
The park is pretty big, so by the time we walked through it we were exhausted. We found a spot to get a taxi and took it back to downtown. Our taxi driver dropped us near a local take out restaurant. We sat in the corner while the Bahamians bought their lunches and I ate my fried shrimp. Then we went back to the ship with our cameras full of pictures.
