Bermuda, Day 3

Today started with a quick breakfast of some cereal we got yesterday, with some milk from Dunkley's Dairy...which I think we walked past in our travels today. Then we walked just down the road to await the bus. Riding the bus in Bermuda is an adventure in itself- big bus, narrow streets, lots of curves and crazy Bermuda traffic. You couldn't pay me to drive here! Anyway, we rode the bus to Hamilton, then boarded another one and rode out to St.George for the day. The bus dropped us in the little town and we walked around to find a place for lunch. We ate at the White Horse Pub...out on the patio right next to the water! The food was tasty! Here is Dave along with the view from Fort Gates, a small old fort which once had 4 cannons. After visiting this one, we walked up a little further to the Alexandria battery. It was neat seeing how they had it rigged up to get the cannon balls up to the top wall. Then we walked quite a bit further to Fort St.Catherine (in the pic below). It was a pretty big fort and had its own battery, where supposedly a ghost inhabits!

While we were out walking today- and yesterday, actually- we saw a lot of chickens and roosters running around loose. The roosters like to crow at us. Below is a picture of a bunch of them hanging out on a pink picnic table.
As we headed back to the town from the forts, we came across the Unfinished Church. It's pretty much just 4 walls standing there. They started building it in 1874, but ran into a series of financial problems and then when it was almost finished a hurricane damaged it and at that point, they just gave up. So now there are the walls standing....here is an angled view...
We went back to St.George, picked up some snacks and a few souvenirs, then got back on the bus and came back to the apt. Sandwiches, TV and rest again this evening! Oh, and maybe another game of Cribbage later...
Until tomorrow!
