Yesterday the weather forecast wasn’t too good but it started off nice. We decided to walk to the Horticultural Gardens and see how the day panned out. The gardens were pleasant and peaceful but not exactly inspiring. The weather was still holding out so we decided to try and find a road that led to the coast. In trying to find a shortcut out of the gardens we managed to stumble upon a rubbish dump which we hastily moved on through. Finding the coast was not so easy but it did mean we walked through some very nice residential areas. The properties reminded us of those in South Africa but without the bars on the windows. We did eventually find our way to the coast but it was a private bay which we felt we shouldn’t explore.
We then walked back to town and on the way we passed the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute which we entered. The museum was interesting although it was geared more for children.
We then had a pub lunch. Helen had steak and kidney pie and I had bangers and mash – absolutely delicious. Having walked for a total of four hours and after the previous days cycling we were feeling pretty exhausted so we headed back to the hotel and rested the afternoon. In the evening we went out and had pizza and a few glasses of wine at a dockside bar.
Today Helen will be flying home and I will be joining the crew of Windancer IV. Before then we intend to squeeze in a visit to the Crystal Caves.
