“For whatever we lose (like a you or a me) it’s always ourselves we find in the sea.” —E. E. Cummings
Our last day at sea was beautiful...calm seas, blue skies and the temperature in the mid 70s. We couldn't have asked for anything better. A perfect day for sitting on the deck relaxing.
We really enjoyed Bermuda and some things about the cruise itself was very nice, especially the food. We also enjoyed being waited on and having our room perfect every time we returned to it. Lots of time to relax and eat, but all in all it's not our way to travel. We like being more active, spending more time becoming part of the town or country we're visiting. Having time to truly get to know the area and talking to the local people. We like getting away from the crowds when we're on vacation, exploring the out of the way places and eating at small local restaurants. On a cruise you take the crowd with you...people are everywhere.
The cruise was the best choice this summer for us to visit Bermuda. We love traveling on The Pearl and we could take our boat to Bermuda, but neither of us are a fan of spending 72 hours (or more) in the North Atlantic to get there. Maybe next time we'll fly over and rent a house, but we'd definitely miss the wonderful food!
A few of the appetizers we had this week - chilled shrimp Louis, double baked blue cheese soufflé, roasted red beets, scallop Rockefeller, New England clam chowder, Tai beef spring roll, kale salad and caprese.
One last look at the beautiful Bermuda beaches...hopefully we'll return to Bermuda one day and spend more time on the beaches.
My Lord-- You have two Very nice Boats and go on a Cruise Ship?
ReplyDeleteI know...right! I would have loved to have one of our boats there, but I'm a wimp when it comes to off shore...24 hours is one thing, 72 to 90 straight is way too much for me.
