'TWAS a dark and stormy night (and day too for that matter) in the Bermuda triangle! The rain fell hard! But try as it may, most drops couldn't seem to reach the ground, due to the relentless, driving wind that changed it to an umbrella-defeating horizontal deluge! Struggling to maintain an upright position against the howling barometric demons on-slaught, I was struck by the thought "was it really possible to drown while standing on (relatively) dry ground?"! Just as my mind (And body too) was about to secome to natures version of "water-boarding", through the deluge there loomed a "huge white hulk". No, make that the "huge white HULL" of the "DAWN", my new home away from home, for the next 6 weeks or so anyway!
But it was sort of damp, drizzly and overcast,with a stiff breeze blowing when we pulled into the port in Bermuda!

| The next morning the sun came out and it was an absolutely GORGEOUS day! Naturally since I was on call and ship-bound all day!! |

| The ferry boat to Hamilton backs up spins a 180 degree turn and heads for town. |

| This is the central Atrium in the Dawn, with glass elevators, a bar and stage for musicians. There are cafes and restaurants lining the edges of 6 decks including the Internet cafe. |

| The kids have their own cafe with kid sized tables and food serving tables! |
| Overall the layout of the ship is very similar to the Jade with many of the offices in the same place. The Captain and the staff captain are very pleasant and personable. And more importantly the staff I work with in the medical center are all very nice and quite competent. |
This Friday, Karla is coming out to spend 2 weeks on the ship with me so I may not get much blogging done!
Nice, that ship looks fancy! Not sure if you did the white font background by accident, but to anyone wondering what those solid blocks of white are, use your mouse to highlight them and they will become readable.
ReplyDeleteSo does Bermuda have good diving?
Say hi to mom for me!
Bermuda looks very beautiful! I'm glad Mom will be joining you soon. Take lots of pictures together!
ReplyDeleteYes, Bermuda and this ship are both gorgeous and being able to join Lyle for two weeks has been one amazing vacation so far :) Wish more family could join us, but unfortunately, his perks only extend to me...I am so privileged! I could become extremely spoiled and gain 5 lbs a week, no problem without an enormous amount of self control...let's see, where'd that go? :)
