Cruise Vacation - Port of Call, Bermuda

One of my favorite travel destinations is Bermuda.  Whether I'm flying and staying a week or cruising and staying for a night or two Bermuda gives me a lot of what I am looking for in a vacation. When my wife and I honeymooned in Bermuda, more than 30 years we came across this beautiful and serene spot directly opposite the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo.  The picture here, is taken at almost the exact spot and with the exception of some new construction in the background, the area is the same.

We liked this picture so much, from our honeymoon, my mother-in-law painted a large version which still hangs in our dining room today.











This picture of the Flamingos was taken, of course at the Zoo.  This was most certainly worth the trip.  More pictures to follow.

On A Cruise, Don't Rock The Boat (I know it's a ship)

On board Royal Caribbean's Explorer of the Seas during a bit of rough waters.  It's hard to get a feel of how choppy the seas are when you are eleven stories up but this video gets pretty close. I have to admit that it was very cool to watch. Eventually staff did close access to the pool even though nobody was going to chance getting into it at this time.  Maybe later in the day when more people had time to drink, someone would have tried to ride the waves, LOL  Enjoy the 2 minute video from my channel.  As a side note, the patch the doctor prescribed for motion sickness worked like a charm.
