Answers to the BAHAMA QUIZ... No peaking!!

I hope you had fun trying the quiz for today.  I made this quiz up from the information that I learned about the Bahamas getting ready for our upcoming trip.  Wow - I did not know much at all about this area of our world.   And, I just started researching the area!  Our ship is only in the Bahamas for a couple days - it sounds like you could spend a LONG TIME checking out that area - so much to do, so much to see!

Well, here are the answers to the quiz...  How did you do?

1.  F; it is made up of 700 islands
2.  F;  it has the 3rd longest barrier reef
3.  F;  14.5% of the world's coral is found here
4.  T; it was quite the party spot during prohibition
5.  T;  many famous pirates enjoyed hiding here just waiting for heavy, loaded ships to pass by in the shipping lane
6.  F;  Bahamas are part of the British Commonwealth and gained their independence in 1973
7.  T; Americans must have a passport to visit
8.  T;  The Bahamas average about 7.5 inches of rain a month during the rainy season.
9.  F;  The Bahamian Dollar is the legal tender in the Bahamas.
10.  T;  U.S. dollars are accepted throughout the islands.
