BERMUDA

Day 91 -Arrived in Hamilton, Bermuda after 2 calm and 4 ugly days at sea.  Last night was the
worst with gale force winds and 25 foot swells.  It was almost impossible to sleep.  Our phone went flying with such force that the cord broke - it didn't just come unplugged, the cord broke.  Desks turned over, glasses broke and doors slammed in other suites at the front.

Hamilton is the capital of Bermuda and home to a lot of celebrities and wealthy people.  Some have their own islands.   There are a lot of white buildings mixed in with bright colors like yellow, purple, blue and rust.  The city is very clean and people are very friendly. We took a local bus to the popular Horseshoe Bay beach and when a local got on they greeted all the other riders and wished us a good day when we got off.  It's not quite warm enough for the beaches to be busy but it was one of the nicest we've ever seen with really fine sand -they advertise it as pink sand and you can see a hint of pink when the sun shines on the wet sand.

Bermuda  $ and US $ are equal and both are accepted everywhere.

We now have 2 days at sea until we get to Ft. Lauderdale and we expect that they could be pretty rough.  Around 450 people are disembarking in Lauderdale and they say it's fully booked for the cruise through the Panama Canal to LA.
