Welcome to Bermuda

We spent the day in Bermuda on a Transatlantic cruise from Florida to Barcelona.

We did a basic tour of the island and got to see a lot of the island.  Joy had been there a couple of times before and so she was a guide to me.   It is so clean and well maintained, but also a bit expensive as a result.  The weather was not the best the day we were there but I can see the appeal of the place.
