We slept in until 8:30 this morning. After shower, shave and shampoo we went to the Windjammer for breakfast. Oatmeal for me, scrambled eggs for my beloved wife. About 10:30 we headed into Bermuda, purchasing a transportation pass, and boarding the ferry for St. George’s.
We wandered around Bermuda’s first capital, checking out a yarn shop (where we bought nothing) and a drug store (where we bought 4 Arrow Words magazines – Bonnie’s favorite word puzzles). We made a return visit to St. Peter’s church – the oldest Anglican church in the British Isles and the longest serving protestant church in the New World.
We also visited Somers Garden for the first time. It was here that the leader of the original group of settlers on Bermuda died, and his heart was buried. The rest of him was put in a barrel of rum and sent back to England for burial.
Before catching Bus 11 to Hamilton, the current capital, Bonnie posed beside of a red PT Cruiser – the Chili Pepper 2. After lunch in Hamilton we took the ferry back to the Royal Naval Dockyard and boarded the Explorer of the Seas for a well-deserved afternoon nap. In a few minutes it is off to the evening show and supper.
TTFN!
