Bermuda day

It was extremely windy this morning as we came into the islands of Bermuda. Grey clouds scuttled across the sky. Finally we docked and debarked an hour and a half late joined by George's pickleball friend Linden and his wife. They are an Asian American couple from San Francisco. He has given George some fierce games!

We took the ferry from Port Royal to Hamilton and walked around the town a bit. The art center was interesting and had a exhibit of art by a painter who was biking around the island with her paints. We located the bus terminal and hopped on for a ride to St. George. This was a nice way to see some of the countryside of this small island.

St. George is small but we enjoyed seeing the very old church, meeting house and other buildings. They have used the old limestone buildings for stores and restaurants now. A burger on the wharf tasted good!

We hopped back on a ferry for a 45 minute ride back to port. The wind was still fierce but the clouds were starting to part. The port is full of the usual shops lodged inside the old fort buildings. The art center was interesting to visit and notice of the Bermuda plein air event in November enticing. Maybe one day I'll return to paint!

Because of time and logistics we never got to the beach but now we have a reason to return.

I'm about out of minutes and George is done too so no more posts. We'll catch up at home. Two more sea days then we fly.

  1. I've always wanted to go to Bermuda (my parents met there). I'm guessing that missing the beach means no pink sand.

  2. Strange thing to do in Bermuda! I’d have hit the beach.
