kimmie32 Posted May 5, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 5, 2004 One of my friends recently returned from Austraila with a new collection of Havaianas - apparently the best flip-flops known to woman (or man). They are Brazilian, designer, and super comfortable. I did a search on their website and it shows Nassau as being a dealer site, but it looks like an import-export address and not a storefront. Does anyone know if these flip flops are for sale there, and if so, what stores I should look for?? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyloc Posted May 6, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Try this, though I'm not sure they're still there: Girls from Brazil Bay St., Nassau, New Providence Island, Bahamas Phone: 242-356-9382 New Providence Island Girls from Brazil has a large selection of reasonably priced swimwear along with matching colorful wraps and casual evening wear.

kimmie32 Posted May 7, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Thanks - I'll have a look for sure. Hopefully it will be a short search. We are in port from 8-2 and I'm wondering what you'd recommend we do for such a short stop. We're saving our beach afternoon for another port, so I'd be interested in must-see sights, must-do shops, and anything else you, as a Nassau Native might recommend. I'm the only one of my group that wants to try conch - is it easily available - I'm thinking fritters, not raw. Thanks, Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nursejewels Posted May 11, 2004 #4 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I've heard that going to "the fish fry" is the coolest way to get to sample all of the native's fresh seafood in all forms! It's a bus ride to Arawak Cay, I think they said #10 bus, not far from the port. They have it every day out in the open for all to join in, and I hear it's the local's favorite! Correct me if I'm wrong, Colyn! My ferry bartender told me so! Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyloc Posted May 11, 2004 #5 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Nursejewels has it right ... the "Fish Fry" can be a blast - Goldie's is one of the most popular spots there. There's generally a bit more customer traffic in the evenings that during the day, however. On the other hand, if all you want to do is sample conch, etc. and you don't want to go too far from the port, try Conch Fritters Restaurant ... it's just across the street from the Hilton British Colonial. Pleasant atmosphere and great conch fritters as well as other typical local dishes as well as European and American fare.

kimmie32 Posted May 13, 2004 Author #6 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Thanks all. Just one more sleep and I'm enroute to Florida and my cruise. Vacation is just a whisper away and I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmie32 Posted May 25, 2004 Author #7 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I got my Havaianas at a little surf shop at the end of Bay Street!!! It wasn't called Girls from Brazil, but it may have been once upon a time. No matter. I got them. I love them. They were just $10! Thanks for the tip.
