Bermuda Cruising : Day 4 - Wednesday: Exploring Bermuda

Today was the much-anticipated day we arrived in Bermuda! The ship docked around 8 AM, and after a quick breakfast, we were off to Horseshoe Bay Beach via Minivan. We were among the first to arrive, which meant we scored the perfect spot—with a beautiful view, a beach umbrella, and plenty of space to settle in.



The beach was absolutely stunning. The water was crystal clear and inviting. Shri and I took a long walk along the shoreline, all the way to the end, where we discovered some fascinating rock formations. We snapped a few photos before heading back for lunch. I had packed some delicious homemade food—god poli, paratha, chivda and shankarpali — which everyone enjoyed before taking a short rest.


Some in our group kept the adventures going with more time in the water. Jai went cliff jumping, and Shri and I went snorkelling. The underwater world was magical—we saw so many colourful fishes that we decided to bring our parents back later to experience it too. For the first time in my life, I saw a parrotfish up close, and it truly made my day. The joy on everyone’s faces, especially the parents, was priceless.














We spent a long, relaxing afternoon at the beach, soaking in the sunshine, swimming, and enjoying the surreal turquoise waters and soft pink sand. Bermuda’s beaches are beyond words—perfect water temperature, breathtaking color, and pure serenity.


After returning to the ship, we freshened up, had dinner, and got ready for an exciting evening at the Hamilton Festival. We took a water taxi to the capital, Hamilton, where we explored vibrant local stalls filled with crafts, food, and music. As we arrived, we caught a colorful parade by “Gombey” troup by local performers. It was full of energy and featured adorable children dancing and celebrating in costume—an unforgettable sight!

local fruit bar was delicious. Got to saw local artists and their work, bought some cool stuff. Had a great popping boba drink too.





Our return ferry was scheduled for 9 PM, but the line was long and it looked uncertain whether we’d make it. Thankfully, we did, and we were back by 9:30. As we stepped off the ferry, it began pouring, but luckily, the rain had stopped by the time we reached the ship.

It was an absolutely incredible day in Bermuda—one we’ll always remember.

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...

Canadian Rockies - Day 1 - Waking Up to the Magic of Canmore and the Rockies

After a late-night arrival at around 2 AM, we finally woke up to our first morning in the Canadian Rockies - and what a surprise it was! Since we had reached in the dark, we had no idea what surrounded us. When I stepped out onto the balcony, I was greeted by a breathtaking view - majestic mountains all around, their peaks kissed by the early morning light. It was one of those moments that instantly fills you with gratitude and excitement for the day ahead. We had masala tea, got ready, and decided to explore downtown Canmore. The streets were charming, lined with cozy cafés, boutiques, and local art shops - all against the stunning mountain backdrop. It felt like stepping into a postcard. For brunch, we stopped at an amazing Indian restaurant called Mumbai Local, and oh my goodness - the food was phenomenal! We ordered dahi puri, soya chaap, and triple schezwan fried rice, and everything was bursting with flavor. It felt like a comforting taste of home right in the middle of the Rocki...

Bermuda Cruising : Day 1 – Sunday: Setting Sail from New York City 🚢🌆

The excitement was real as we wrapped up breakfast and left home around 9:30 AM, all packed and ready for our 7-day adventure to Bermuda. As we drove into the city, the first glimpse of our cruise ship took our breath away—it stood tall and majestic on the Hudson River, a true floating city! Check-in was smooth, and by 2 PM, we were officially on board. The sheer size of the ship amazed all of us—18 floors packed with restaurants, shops, a buzzing casino, lively bars, pools, a full amphitheater, a grand theater, and even water slides and a giant rope course towering on the 18th floor! Watching our parents and in-laws marvel at everything around them was heartwarming. For them, this was like stepping into a whole new world—a luxurious hotel on water. The kids were already eyeing the pools and adventure zones, while we were still soaking in the scale of it all. After a delicious lunch at one of the onboard restaurants, we headed up to the open deck for sail-away views of the iconic N...
