Bermuda, at last! We'll only have 24 hours at this port, but it is a 24 hour period where we can enjoy ourselves on land, as well as pick up a few items we could use at the local store.
But first....
Neither of us wanted to get up this morning, so we slept in until 11 am again. By the time we were ready to go out of the room, it was lunch time. So, it was off to the Galley and wait for our food to be delivered.
The Galley was crowded for lunch, so we ended up finding a seat at the rear of the ship. From the moment we sat down, we could see Bermuda coming up in the distance. By the time we were done with lunch, we were passing by the parish of St. George (Do I say town? county? What to Bermudians call this subsection of the archipelago?) on our way to the Dockyard area.
We arrived in port at 2:45, and were able to get off the ship at 3:00 pm. (One catch, we had to stay on "ship time" and not "island time", as Bermuda is in the Atlantic time zone, and the ship remained on Eastern. Staying in the Dockyard area, we browsed a few shops before returning to the ship.
Once back on the ship, we killed time before making it to the ship's Italian eatery. We ate way too much food, and all of it was tasty. (It was not as good as some of our favorite NYC Italian joints. But then, we live in NYC and have a plethora of great Italian eateries. So it would be an unfair comparison to consider ranking this place against our favorite eateries.)
It was a good day. And I'm hoping that the rest of our remaining time in Bermuda will be just as good.
