Bermuda ~First Stop

We loved our Transatlantic Cruise!

We left a few stormy days behind us in Houston, Texas. But once we got out into the Gulf all was fine.

First stop for us was Bermuda.

Bermuda Dockyard

Cruising into dock we could see the pastel colored houses.

Their buildings were the same pastel colors.

After perusing the shops of Main Street we were off to catch a bus to take us to the beach.

Bus and ferry tickets can be purchased at the Dockyard for $19.00 per person. Taxis are quite expensive. The buses are easily found all over Bermuda.

A walk down to the beach was easy…

Another ride on a bus and we came across St. Gill’s Lighthouse.

But what goes up must come down.

We walked down the St. Gill’s Trail.

Isn’t it just lovely??

One must not go to Bermuda without trying their famous cocktail called the Dark and Stormy.

Recipe: Ginger Beer over ice then  Dark Bermuda Rum on top. DELICIOUS!

After a lovely day well spent in Bermuda we headed back to the ship.
