I recently wrote about my latest trip to the Bahamas to swim with wild dolphins and this is the start of a series of accounts of other adventures that occurred during the trip. On waking early one morning after another glorious night sleeping under the stars on our catamaran, I dived into the sea for my first swim of the day. With snorkel and fins I set off and came upon an extraordinary collection of enormous boulders on the ocean floor. I knew there were claims that remains of the Lost City of Atlantis had been found in the region and that it was possible to see them. So here they were – a long line of smooth, grey, cylindrical boulders stretching along the sand looking for all the world like a road leading who knows where…..The size of these stones made it impossible to work out how they would have arrived there and even more fascinating was that they were of similar shapes and sizes. Apart from the amazing sight of these stones there were beautiful tropical fish everywhere, of all sizes, shapes and incredible colours and at one point I was joined by a turtle lazily flapping its way along the boulder road. I lingered there for ages, sharing this lovely place with the new inhabitants of The Lost City of Atlantis.
