NCL Sun – Day 14 – Back in the UK?

 

Ok, not really. But Bermuda is still a UK Territory. Or Possession? I am never sure which.  Ah – Territory (as reported by the good, on-line Wiki).  As would be expected, it consists of lots of tiny islands, about 65k in populations, and is heavily dependent on tourist trade. 

In case that is too tiny for you to see –

this makes it easier to see, but doesn’t as clearly show its geographic relation to the US Coast. (Oh, King’s Wharf is where we are docked….)

We docked about 1600 and will leave mid-afternoon tomorrow. There was quite a rush of people wanting off the ship. I mean really, we were only at sea for three days after Horta, it isn’t like we were out there forever. Perhaps they want a meal off ship?

I chose to use one of my two free meal coupons to take another one of the stitchers to Cagney’s for dinner.  We went for the 1730 seating, just to (we thought) avoid most of the other dinners. By the time we left, the place was about ½ full so we weren’t exactly the only ones thinking to take advantage of a meal without rock & roll.

I’ll probably get off the ship in the morning for a bit and will turn on my phone so that I can be connected to the rest of the world for a short time and catch up on a few things that require bandwidth.

Stitching borders is perhaps my least favorite thing…

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
