Hello from the sunny island of Bermuda! We arrived here safe and sound about 1pm (Bermuda time) and got a taxi ride to our guest apartment. It is a cozy little place...it has a living room, a little kitchen, a bedroom, bathroom and even a closet. We arrived hungry (having not eaten since those mini cinnabons we got in the Charlotte airport at 6 this morning!) and after we had settled in, went looking for the restaurant mentioned to us by our hostess. Unfortunately, The Swizzle something -or-other was closed for the entire day for staff Christmas party! So, we turned around and went the other direction to the little gas station that our hostess had also pointed out to us. We picked up some spaghetti and sauce, and some drinks and chips. I did mention we were HUNGRY, right? Well, we ate the whole bag of Doritos while waiting on the spaghetti to cook. It was a smallish bag, but still....
After eating we settled down for a nap (had to get up so early, plus my dramamine had me worn out). After a while, Dave decided to trek back up to the gas station to hunt us some dinner, since it was after dark and we don't have any bus passes yet...besides, I don't think the buses run this late anyway. He got some bacon and pancake mix, and believe it or not he cooked the whole meal in the microwave! Dave is somewhat magical when it comes to microwave cooking, and turned out some tasty pancakes!! Now, I am blogging and Dave is watching the TV. I'm afraid this is about the whole of our excitement for today. We didn't think to bring our Cribbage board or anything, so we are stuck with the TV for tonight.
Tomorrow morning, we will make our way to Hamilton (the BIG CITY of Bermuda) and get a bus/ferry pass and maybe do some sightseeing....some beach bumming- maybe a picnic. I'm sure we'll find plenty to keep us occupied! I'll report again tomorrow evening!
