When I found out I was following the UNLV basketball team to the Bahamas, I originally rented a car, forgetting this Caribbean country once was under British rule.
Driving on the wrong, er, right side of the street? I could see myself getting confused and making wrong turns and having to file an insurance claim.
No, taxis will do just fine.
Driving on the left side is one of the few noticeable reminders of the Bahamanian connection with the Brits. Spelling center “re” is another.
But few others remain. Walk into the tourist-heavy downtown Nassau, just steps away from where a Royal Caribbean ship is anchored, and in many ways it doesn’t even feel like a foreign getaway, what with Burger King, McDonald’s and Subway nearby.
