Bermuda was a lovely stop. Thankfully we arrived safely after sailing right through the famous triangle! We spent our time walking around the disturbingly perfect city of Hamilton and hanging out in quaint little coffee shops or”smoothie” bars. EVERY single building in the ENTIRE city is painted a pastel colour with a white trim. I am not exaggerating. It’s beautiful, but kind of eery.
I
took some time in this port to just relax and recharge before the Atlantic crossing and the last few weeks of school. There wasn’t much adventuring to be had right in the city, although we did do some really neat things for our port program.
One day, we had a professional Bermuda kite maker teach us how to make out own wooden kites. It’s a lot harder than it looks! Patience was key – my kite didn’t turn out very well … Kite making in Bermuda is a VERY popular Easter tradition, and they were all gearing up for the holiday while we were there.
Our other port program was a hike. We strolled through the local national park and explored some awesome caves. The coolest part was when we went swimming in a cave. It was crazy … and cold.
On the last night we were surprised with our end of year prom! We all frantically went dress shopping/dress borrowing in my case. It was a super fun night. We had a DJ on the main deck and we danced our hearts out.
All in all, Bermuda was a really fun port. I’ve stocked up on snacks and I’m super excited for the big crossing ahead!
