Our favorite 'Beach day #3' photos ...

On our third day on Bermuda we decided to take a ferry ride to St. Georges which is at the total opposite end of the island from where our ship was. They said it would take 3 hours by bus to get there, but by ferry it was a quick 30 min ride! Plus, being on the ferry is so much more interesting and fun than a bus!

Anyway, we took the ferry to St. Georges, then a quick 5 min taxi ride to this amazing beach called Tobacco Bay. The views at this beach were incredible and I happily spent the whole entire day snapping pictures ... well, when I wasn't snorkeling or swimming or eating or hanging out with my family!




We rented snorkel equipment so we could see even more fish than we had with just goggles ... Hope loved it! She and Daddy spent most of the day snorkeling out around all the rocks and reefs and seeing amazing tropical fish ...
Joy did a small amount of snorkeling but gets spooked a little more easily {like her Mommy} so she spent more time just sitting in the shallow water, playing with sand and making castles ...

My brave husband saw these local kids climbing up and jumping off of these cliffs way out about a half mile off shore {yes, my new zoom camera works amazingly well!} ... so since he's never one to shy away from adventure and a challenge he swam out there and climbed on up and dove off! I think the local kids were shocked that one of the tourists would actually do it! There were some higher cliffs that the kids were jumping from, where they had to land in this small little hole of water ... I said NO to Bob doing those ones!
A very nice couple took our family shot up on top of one of the cliffs ...

I love this one! Seeing Hope and Daddy snorkeling together was so sweet!


This was our last day on Bermuda, so we took the ferry back to King's Wharf and back to our ship ... and soon we were setting sail back to the US. We loved Bermuda and can't wait to go back. There is so much more that we want to see and explore there and it's all just gorgeous! Stay tuned for our last batch of vacation photos ... our favorite random shots ...
