Day 3 Bermuda

Day 3 was a stop in Bermuda. It's a British property and important strategic island about 1000 miles of the US Coast. It played an improtant role in many wars from the US Revolution to World War II. I'm pretty sure my dad made some stops here during WW II before protecting convoys crossing the North Atlantic.

This is a picture of one of his ships, the HMCS Huntsville. Looks pretty luxurious compared to our ship.

Once we got off the ship this morning at the Naval Dockyards, we jumped on a ferry to the capital city of Hamilton. We both thought that Bermuda is a clean and beautiful Island with very friendly people. We walked around the town for a couple hours looking at the shops and managed to make the big purchase of a Bermuda Christmas ornament. Look for that this fall at the house. We jumped on the ferry back to the dockyard just after noon to ensure we wouldn't miss the 4:00 final call. We made it in good time, but enjoyed watching the late runners trying to catch the ship. Pretty sure they weren't going to leave them behind, but fun to watch the panic as they run to the ship.

Pretty boring evening as we went to the buffet for supper and went to a show with the piano "legend" David Shmuck. Yes that is his name. Back at the room waiting for the Jets game to start.
