Before we took the high speed ferry back to the boat, I decided to pop into the visitors center. I probably shouldn't have as it showed me all the lovely things I wasn't going to have time to do. Just means I'll have to go back to Bermuda in the not too distant future, I guess. I'm alright with that. I think the caverns and the pink sand beaches will definitely be on the top of that list!

I couldn't help but stop into this small little bookshop as we were shopping around in Hamilton for the morning. I definitely could see myself enjoying it more often if I actually lived on the island. It had charm and seemed like the sort of place where the owner would go above and beyond to get you books you would enjoy. I only got to take a brief peek around, but I liked how cozy it was.

I think one of the most interesting things I learned on the tour was that non-native Bermudans or descendents of Bermudans could not buy property. They are trying to keep Bermudan property "in the family" so to speak. Apparently property there is also crazy expensive, so I'm pretty glad I couldn't even buy property there if I had the opportunity! I'll just stick to the hotels and visiting all the sights.

Bermuda was our first island stop on the cruise. After a day and a half at sea, we pulled it. It was really neat to see how the ship maneuvered into a port location. I was excited as it has been several years since I've gotten to travel internationally and to several places I had never been before. Bermuda did not disappoint! Given a number of interesting excursions that the cruise line had lined up, I definitely could see myself going back to Bermuda and spending several days doing all the neat things.
