On the other hand, the low can be 24 degrees for an average daily temperature of 28 degrees.
In 1834, the slaves of the British colonists were liberated in early August. The Bahamas celebrate with parades, regattas and beach parties. If you're in the Bahamas during this festival, it will be a joyous celebration with memorable experiences to enjoy.
