Date: 5/30/2024 Day 146 Port: HAMILTON, BERMUDA
Description: The island has been continuously
inhabited by the British since the Sea Venture, captained by George Somers, was
shipwrecked here in 1609, the inspiration for Shakespeare’s play The Tempest.
Hamilton is the capital and heart of the island. Excellent shopping and dining
venues can be found right on Front Street, opposite the pier. Among the
attractions not to miss are: Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo (BAMZ), all
conveniently located in a complex on North Shore Road; St. Peter’s Church,
believed to be the oldest Anglican church in the Western hemisphere, and
stunning in its simplicity with its rough-hewn pillars, exposed cedar beams and
candlelit chandeliers; and St. Catherine Fort, well-preserved and a great
vantage point for photos.

Admire the ever-changing scenery that often follows the beautiful
coastline.
Afternoon Update: We had nearly prefect weather mostly sunny and temps in the upper 70's. The humidity was a bit high making it feel much warmer. Our E-Bike ride was really lovely riding on an old converted railroad bed and along the coast road. We stopped at a local park and beach for about 20 minutes. Then we rode back to where we started riding on the coast road. I have video of our ride that I hope to be uploading tomorrow on our last sea day before arriving in New York. We'll be working our final packing our last sea day. Once that is done I hope to be able to process and upload my video.
We had a fantastic parking spot for our ship right downtown. We past two much larger cruise ships on our way in this morning. They were huge and were parked far out of town. We have really love that our ship was smaller than most cruise ships allowing us to enter ports where the larger one are not.
