Morning After

Curry yesterday evening was nice but still not up to the standards we hoped for.  Something to look forward to when we go to the Uk later this year.

We walked to and from the restaurant even though we were advised to take a taxi as it was away from the town center.  Coming back we spent some time looking for a bar to have a drink or two and finally settled on Flanagan’s.  I was suprised to see they sold beer in 50 Oz glasses (that’s about 3 pints) so I couldn’t resist.  We ended up spending the evening chatting to a Bermuda banker who’d just been promoted.  We shared our dreams.  Ours you know.  His was to get a Harley Davidson and tour the US and Australia.  Our advice, of course, was to go as soon as he can.

No surprise.  I am now hung over as the 50Oz beer was not the only drink quaffed last night.  Perhaps breakfast will sort me out.

Arrived in Bermuda

The delays at Newark were not too bad and we arrived in Bermuda in good time. On the flight, I sat next to a pro-soccer player who invited us to go and watch them (Baltimore – Crystal Palace) play Bermuda tomorrow. This should be an interesting evening out. With free tickets we can always bail early (and hit the bars) if we get bored. I was able to get enough tickets to include the rest of the crew.

We went from the airport straight to the boat and met John and the rest of the crew. I have not met John before but we’ve Skyped a lot. It felt like meeting an old friend. We shared a beer and some chat and were able to leave some of my luggage on the boat.

We then walked to the local ferry and took the ferry to Hamilton. It was a bit troublesome finding somewhere to buy tickets. Oddly enough you can’t buy them where you pick up the ferry. We asked several people where to get tickets and got a few different pieces of advice – it seemed. We thought we were running out of time as we were using a timetable given to the boat crews by the ARC organizers. Turned out the timetable was out of date and we had an extra 30 mins. That allowed Helen and I to grab something to eat.

The ferry trip took just over an hour where we all got to know eachother a bit more. At the dock we parted having made plans to meet up at the stadium tomorrow.

Helen and I have now checked in. The room is pretty nice. Soon we’ll be back out to see more of the town and eventually walk to the “House of India” for our usual Friday curry.
