Bermuda Cruising : Day 5 - Thursday : Exploring Bermuda

Today was all about exploring Bermuda by land. After a filling breakfast, we all got ready and set out on a private taxi tour to discover more about the island—its history, culture, and hidden gems. Our guide, Louis, was born and raised in Bermuda, and his family has lived here for three generations. His knowledge and stories brought the island to life.

Next, we visited a historic lighthouse, and Shri and I decided to climb all the way to the top. It was worth every step—the 360° view of the green landscape and shimmering blue beaches was simply stunning. From up there, Bermuda looked like a postcard.




As we drove through different towns, Louis shared interesting facts and stories about Bermuda’s past. He explained that Hamilton is the capital (which we had visited the previous evening), but today we explored St. George’s, a charming and historic town. We wandered through the streets, admired the town hall, browsed cute local gift shops, and discovered a quaint lemonade stand. The lady there was making fresh lemonade with unique flavors like ginger and mango—perfect for the 80°F weather!



Shri had read about the Unfinished Church, a famous and beautiful spot in Bermuda, and wanted to visit. Louis took us there, and it did not disappoint. The skeletal structure of the church, surrounded by greenery, made for some gorgeous photos.





One of the great vista points!


As we drove back, we passed by St. Catherine’s Fort and some tiny beaches that looked straight out of a travel magazine. One small beach near St. George’s was so stunning I just wanted to stay there forever.








We made it back to the cruise ship around 3 PM, grabbed some food, and recharged a bit. Then came one of the highlights of the day—the rope course at the top of the ship. From up there, the view of the port and endless ocean was unreal. One section of the course juts out over the water, and it genuinely felt like there was nothing but ocean beneath us—it was thrilling and a little scary! Shri and I braved it first, and later Jay and Ram joined us for a second round. It was a total adrenaline rush and super fun!


After that adventure, we freshened up and headed to a live theater show onboard to end the night.




Explored one of the restaurants and enjoyed yummy food!




It was a full, fantastic day—exploring the land, enjoying adventure, learning history, and soaking in the beauty of Bermuda.

A Journey Through Sunshine and Serenity: Our Florida Getaway

Embarking on a journey to Fort Lauderdale, our adventure began with a serene stay at the Miami Beach Ocean View Hotel. We reached late to hotel and when we opened our eyes, it was a pleasant welcome by morning sunrays. The first day was a delightful blend of cultures, starting with the vibrant Wynwood Walls neighborhood, where the gelato’s authenticity transported me straight to Italy. Dinner was an elegant affair at a chic restaurant, setting the tone for the days ahead. The second day greeted us with a hearty breakfast at South Beach, followed by an exhilarating bike ride along the Hollywood Beach Boardwalk with Jai. The thrill of surfing was complemented by the taste of fresh fish tacos and the unique Shark Tank drink. Jai really enjoyed surfing and tacos. As the day waned, Häagen-Dazs ice cream for me and frozen yogurt for Jai were the perfect sweet treats before an evening spent basking in the ocean’s embrace. On the third day, We savored  Einstein Miami bagel, a perfect start...

Canadian Rockies - Day 2 - The Dream Day: Larch Valley Hike & Moraine Lake Magic

We started our second day in the Canadian Rockies with our little tradition — a steaming cup of masala tea. There’s nothing like that comforting aroma to kick off an adventurous morning. While sipping our tea, we had a great chat with our wonderful host, Jeremy -  a biker, traveler, and author of two books. He’s been around the world on his bike, and listening to his stories was truly inspiring. After breakfast, it was time for one of the most anticipated parts of our trip - the Larch Valley hike and visiting my dream destination, Moraine Lake! We grabbed some Subway sandwiches from Banff downtown to fuel up later on the trail and then headed toward Moraine Lake by shuttle. We started the hike around 12:30 PM, and wow — it was steep and challenging right from the beginning. But every step upward brought more breathtaking views of Moraine Lake below. The turquoise water kept peeking through the trees as we climbed higher and higher. As we gained elevation, the larches turned gold...
