The weather was too rough for us to come in to St. Georges harbour as scheduled on Tuesday. The picture shows the surf on the rocks at Ft. St. Catherine as we passed on the way to Hamilton.

November 18, 2004

Thursday, the ship motored around to St. George, and we got off and did a little shopping

Ft. St. Catherine

Then we got a taxi with 6 other folks ($4 for two) to Ft. St. Catherine (admission $5 without the Heritage Pass). The exhibits in the interior were new to us. When we finished climbing around on the fort, they called the mini-bus for us ($3 each)

Lunch November 18, 2004

.. and we had an interesting ride back to town. We ate lunch at Freddie's (I had the souper sandwich for $9.95, and Bob had chicken fingers -total $21.01).

Railroad Museum

Then we took the bus back towards the BAMZ and stopped at the Railroad Museum (admission free-donation requested).

Town Hall

After we got back to St. George, we looked in the newly refurbished (after Hurricane Fabian) Town Hall especially the cedar woodwork (although we didn't see the free Bermuda history show this time), and made it to the Bermuda National Trust Museum at the Globe Hotel. We just had time to see the video tape before they closed.

Friday, we walked around St. George and looked at some more historic buildings following somewhat the Fromer's Walking Tour (Bridge House, Buckingham, St. Peters, Tucker House, etc) and did a bit of shopping before going back to the ship.

Leaving St. George and Bermuda

We finished up shopping and then the ship left at noon.

    Hullo! I'm excited to visit Bermuda in a week & wondered if you'd know whether it's necessary to declare prescription meds upon arrival & if documentation needs to be included. I'd appreciate your reply. Thanks!

    What wonderful pages on Bermuda. So much information, it is great to have addresses, webs, directions, etc. I also liked to read about the places you ate and didn't like! Catching water on the roof was a surprising thing to me.
