Beautiful Bermuda

Bermuda is WOW!! Beautiful! But this itinerary leaves you with 2 broken days. Choose options wisely. Know your time frames & prioritize what you want from it. First day we were off ship at 2 pm but shops closed at 5:30. We felt we should just shop then do dinner and walk explore on the first day. Wear comfy shoes! The 2nd day the beach didn't open till 9 and we had to be back on the ship no later than 2 (I made sure we were on early)...but that meant only 4 hours on day 2 for beach time. That's not enough time to leave Kings wharf & taxi to the really nice beaches unless you are booked on excursion through RC. We went to snorkel park beach which took us about 20 mins slow walking. $5 pp to enter this pretty but small beach. $15 to rent umbrella, $15 each to rent lounge chairs. Excellent bar. $10 for a very strong rum swizzle. Be careful of the coral if you go past waste high water. Bring snorkel gear! RC towels were checked in and out outside the ship with seapass card. Nice towels too! Left snorkel park & walked a block to BERMUDA rum cake company which is combined with Blown glass / Glassworks company. Purchased some gorgeous pieces & a couple of rum cakes - and bottled drinks & water is cheap here! Stopped in the pharmacy stores for more souvenirs. Pretty expensive. Don't buy drinks or snacks there! Decent selection of tourist type souvenirs. Stopped at the ice cream shop for pineapple ice cream which was really good. Tried a sample of fudge - very good. Next to the fudge lady is visitors center & a cigar shop. Then 4 mins to walk back to the ship.
