Time to talk about Bermuda! As before it was beautiful. We were very fortunate and had perfect weather despite weather reports that were anticipating rain.

We started by heading to Baltimore the evening before where we had some laughs (and nearly lost a voice) cheering for the blue knight at Medieval Times. Kirkus even joined us! I was able to check out his apartment (yea, I know he's been there for almost a year already) after dinner too. Then on Saturday the 11th we headed to the port and climbed aboard Grandeur of the Seas. She's another smaller ship so there isn't a wealth of specialty things to do, but the compass had plenty scheduled for the first day at sea but not the last day at sea.

For our time in Bermuda, we headed out the first day as a group of all 5 of us with our bus/ferry pass and climbed aboard the ferry to head to Hamilton. Once there we wandered down the street for a short period and did a little bit of shopping before jumping on a bus to head to the Botanical Gardens. While they were nice, they weren't fantastic - a bit of a let down. Back on a bus and towards the lighthouse. Unfortunately it was a bit too much of a walk from the bus stop up for my mom, so we waited for the next bus. By then she was burned out and ready to head back to the ship, so she didn't even get to see the pink sand. :(

Dani and I headed back out after dinner to check out the dockside festival in King's Wharf and enjoyed the Gombey dancers, not much else there super entertaining. Next day we headed out - thwarted at our attempt to get scheduled for parasailing - and took the bus to a few beaches where we managed to get sand in places that sand shouldn't be... and hurts like hell. But it was still quite a good day before we headed back out. Yes, I'll gladly return to Bermuda AGAIN, it's still my favorite place so far. Maybe next time I'll just chill at 9 beaches.
