Travel Haiku - Out Islands, Bahamas
 
  Eleuthera Bahamas
the guide warns about
a heaven that can become hell

Eleuthera Bahamas
two thin strips of sand
to heaven, to hell

(tourists have to be aware of tide which
of course closes in on the sand.
the stretchescan either be of freedom or
a trip to the other world)

Bahamas
As spring washes over the Bahamas, the Out Islands reveal themselves as the sparkle of this low-cut island chain, and the two ribbon-thin strips of sand that is Eleuthera shimmer like few others. Stretching about 90 miles long, it's a mere half-mile to two miles wide, helping explain why its name derives from the Greek for 'freedom.' It's all about the beach here.
