British Colonial Hilton, Nassau

...the Bahamas independence after 325 years of British rule. Although their cars are left hand drive, they still drive on the left. The majority of the population is of African origin and very religious. Nassau, (the capital of Providence Island), has an Anglican Cathedral and many churches from all denomination.
