November 1, 2022 - Bermuda

We had a nice day today. We slept in a little and had coffee in our room before getting going. I headed out and picked up our scooter, rode it back to our room and picked up Sooz. We then got on the scooter 2-up and bought sunscreen and dramamine pills for me.

Sooz found a place for an early lunch called the Cottage Cafe in downtown Hamilton. It was nice and casual and we had our first introduction to Bermudaian prices - $61 for a fish sandwich and burger. The nice thing is they include gratuity in the bill which makes it simpler but not cheaper. 

The food was good. The media production team leaders chartered a large catamaran sailboat for our team including significant others. So we spent the afternoon sailing around the large inner harbor and doing some snorkeling. It was fun and a good way to meet folks. We then crashed and are about to go out to dinner. 

I have to discuss the scooter. It is the upgrade premium model from a well know rental company here but it's only 50 cc's, which is very small and very slow, especially with 2 people on board. It is so slow going uphill that I was paddling my feet on the ground like Fred Flintstone. We have it reserved for a couple of days so we will probably keep it but we will stay off the main roads to be safe. I'm very surprised how much traffic there is and how fast they drive.
