We sailed into the Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda early Tuesday morning and will depart shortly at 4:00 PM on Wednesday. This post will summarize our stay in Bermuda. Tomorrow is a sea day before arriving in Nassau (Bahamas) on Friday. I will post again from there.
We’ve never been to Bermuda. That’s odd in that it is less than two hours by air from Boston. But we never made it here, so we were looking forward to it. From the King’s Dock at the Royal Naval Shipyard, we took the commuter ferry to Hamilton on Tuesday for a short walkabout before boarding a bus to take us to St. George at the far end of the island. St. George is a delightful town. We saw all the important sites, the most impressive of which was St. Peter’s, Their Majesties Chappell (sic). We had a wonderful lunch where we shared conch fritters for an appetizer. Yum. Elaine had a grouper sandwich and I had fish and chips. Finally we bussed back to Hamilton, did a little shopping, and ferried back to the ship. I’ll let the photos show the beauty of the St. George:
On Wednesday it was back to Hamilton again to see more of it. We visited the very picturesque old Perot Post Office, the Anglican Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity, and Fort Hamilton. Then we wandered back to the sea front for pints of Harp in Flanagan’s Irish Pub. Then it was the ferry back to the Royal Naval Dockyard for lunch on the ship, a shower, and a nap.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving onboard tomorrow, you two! Not only will the food be great, but you don’t have to do dishes!!!! And, I’m sure you’ll make good use of your all-you-can-drink package… cheers!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING YOU TWO. From the food and drink pictures I doubt very much that you will miss the turkey and stuffing this year. Miss you…this time last year we were together. Glad you finally have some weather where you don’t have to wear her blue coat Elaine. Soak it all up you two. We love you. CiCi
Absolutely LOVE the Bermuda pix. Have some of those same shots, but they are over 30 years…as my kids were only 5, 8 and 9 at the time!!!
Enjoy your turkey day celebration. Will they have a parade around the deck?? 😉
Happy thanksgiving, you two. Catching up all at once on your latest adventures. Great blog. Hey, it’s a tough job but Somebody has to do it so the rest of us can get our vicarious thrills. Wish I had read it in time to suggest a Dark ‘n Stormy with Gosling’s rum in Bermuda. Carry on!
