MAY 13th -- ST. GEORGE'S, BERMUDA, DAY 2

FYI -- Temperature is:  77°F/25°C 🌞🌞
Day 129 of the World Cruise!!

St. George was the first English settlement on the islands of Bermuda...1612.
The population of this island, St. George, is 65,000.

We have an excursion this morning called "Quintessential Bermuda and Hamilton" and it is at 8:45.  It is a 4-hour tour.

Our first stop was at a cove with a beautiful pink sandy beach.




I had to get my feet in the water.  It was lovely...not cold.

We then drove on to Hamilton and had a 45-minute "free time" break to wander the streets, shop or have a coffee.  As Barry & I did this yesterday, we went to a coffee shop and just enjoyed the view and did some people-watching.

Our view while we had coffee.

We saw these little cars all over the island.  Probably because gas is $9.00/gallon
We get back on the bus and we proceed to drive around the island and our Tour Guide shows us points of interest.  This was all done from the bus.  We did not get off for any picture stops.

Governor's House

The Unfinished Church.
I had to put this picture of the Unfinished Church in for a couple of reasons...first, if you want to get married here is costs $1,000.00, whereas in a regular (finished) church it is free.  Second, the woman sitting by the window was so captivated, she fell asleep!

We got back to the ship at around noon.

As we leave port, there are sailboats all along our route out.  It looks fabulous.

How great is this?

Bye, Bye Bermuda!




We left Bermuda today at 2:00 PM.  It is a beautiful island and we really enjoyed it.  A wonderful "last" port on our cruise.






Tonight, we have dinner reservations at Prime 7 and are dining with Richard & Leonor Vent.  We're meeting in the Galileo Lounge for cocktails @ 6:30 and then dinner @ 7:30.
Once we get to Galileo, we find Richard and Leonor have invited Karen & Andy to join us.  It was a lot of fun.

Here's Andy

...and here's Karen
Back to our cabin and bed.
Our last day tomorrow!!

We turn our clocks back one hour tonight...so, we are now the same time as Waterloo.
