Bermuda - Day 7

We were very excited about our plan for Bermuda. We had decided to rent scooters and tour the island. We hadn't reserved them ahead of time, so in order to make sure we got some we booked it off the boat at the earliest possible moment and were the first people in the scooter office. The boys (who were the designated drivers) were safety briefed and then we were on our way.

Sean and Sarah knew of a rail trail that we could take to see some of the sights. It was a cool trail with little traffic and beautiful scenery. It was on this trail that we came across Fort Scaur. After walking the wrong trail through some fine Bermudian's backyard, we got oriented and found the cool old fort with interesting catacombs. Here is Matt looking at the cool cannon:

And Sean, Sarah, and Matt in the never ending catacomg tunnel:
Then we braved the streets of Bermuda on our scooters to tour downtown Hamilton and the beaches along South Road. On the way we stopped at Dobb's Hill Lighthouse:

Our last leg of the journey we toured all of the beaches on the way to the famous Horseshoe Bay beach. There wasn't much swimming involved due to the infestation of Japanese Man of War Jellyfish - whose sting is supposed to be highly painful. Nevertheless, all of the beaches were incredible. Some fun pictures from Horseshoe Bay:

Sean offered Sarah his shirt and she forgot to take off her helmet to put the shirt on. I still laugh every time I see this picture.

We kept chastising Sean for getting too much sun. This is him showing us how much he cared what we said!
Bermuda is beautiful and we have decided that it is a future destination for a fun family vacation because our only complaint was that we didn't have enough time to see everything!

Fun on the Ship

One of the fabulous desserts we ate - the sampling of all things dessert-like was my favorite aspect of the cruise
My favorite picture of Sean and Sarah - those crazy kids.

Formal night.
