Bermuda

'

We stumbled upon some things to do in Bermuda on a one day stopover. When you get off the ship the ferry is right there. The trip to Saint George costs $4.50 for a token. The buses on the Island use the same token so we bought four tokens.

The trip from King's  Wharf to St. George takes about 30 minutes. St. George is the oldest continuously inhabited British settlement in the Western Hemisphere and is a World Heritage Site. It was established 399 years years ago. I think.

We make our way to the town square and I buy a cup of coffee in the shop next to the information center while my companions get a walking map. We wander around and take in sights like the unfinished church on Church Folly Lane.

The World Heritage Center is next to the ferry dock...admission is a donation...

After that we take the 20 minute bus ride to Hamilton (asking for a transfer) and use our remaining tokens.

The National Art Gallery is next to the Hamilton bus station... Admission is free...We use our transfers for the 50 minute bus ride back to the cruise ship.

One of the stops along the way is Horseshoe Bay. The caves, pink sand beaches and food vendors would make this a nice place to spend an hour and grab a burger....

If it was a little warmer we would have spent the whole day swimming or snorkeling at Horseshoe Bay. The cruise line would have taken us there for $120 or we could have taken the bus for $19....typical cruise line tour markup....
