This
past weekend several fortunate contestants of the 2009 Miss
Universe Pageant paid a visit to Bimini Sands as part of the
events leading up to the competition on August 23rd. A total
of twenty contestants from around the globe were welcomed to
Bimini including Egypt, El Salvador, Estonia, Ethiopia,
Finland, France, Germany, Georgia, Ghana, Great Britain,
Puerto Rico, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovak
Republic, Solvenia, South Africa, Spain and Sweden.
The
Miss Universe competitors attended a number of cultural
activities on the island and ended the day with an excursion
to Bimini Sands Resort & Marina. They were picked up by the
Bimini Sands Magic Bus, a tourist favorite with its colorful
neon paint scheme. After a scenic tour aboard the Magic Bus
the contestants arrived at the picturesque Bimini Beach
Club. At the Beach Club they danced to live music by the
local band Prime Time. The Bimini Sands resort staff even
got in on the action and led the contestants in a number of
Bahamian dances. The Miss Universe party was also treated to
delectable cuisine from the Beach Club Restaurant, with the
fresh Sushi Bar being a big hit. Rounding out the event was
a visit to the popular Mackey's Sand Bar for a little R&R
before leaving the island.
We wish them the
best of luck in the upcoming pageant and hope to see them in
the future. These lovely ladies will always be welcome on
Bimini.
