Arriving at Bermuda

We were greeted by smooth seas this morning.  No special activities on the agenda, just breakfast and Sudoku, followed by lunch.    At 1pm we could finally see Bermuda.  As I wrote this at 3pm, we were waiting for a ship to leave so we could dock.  The NCL Aqua and Virgin of the Seas were taking up the two dock locations.  The Aqua finally departed so we were docked and cleared to go ashore by 4:30. 

Once ashore, we walked to the shopping area, visited a few stores, and bought some souvenirs. It was nice to get ashore, but it was very hot, near 90 with 82% humidity.  Quite the change from the air conditioned ship! Unfortunately the next 2 days will be similar.  Temp just over 90, but heat index of around 96.  
We took new pictures of our ship (love the palm trees!) and I was able to get one of our balcony.  Look for the curved balconies and we're the second one from the top.  Being rear facing it is partially sheltered from the wind when the ship is moving. 



That's it for today.  Tomorrow we are taking public busses to see Bermuda, going from one end to the other, visiting both Hamilton and St George's.
