AI-04 Atlantic Islands – BAHAMAS, Bermuda (UK), Azores (Portugal), UNITED KINGDOM
Date of travel: Apr 14 – May 1, 2004
ITINERARY:
Very early on Apr 14, 2004 I leave Vista in a rented car from Budget for Los Angeles airport. Here I board an American Airlines plane to Ft. Lauderdale in Florida. There I board the ship “MV Discovery.”
Overnight the ship sails to Nassau, a capital of the island country BAHAMAS. There is a sightseeing tour of Nassau in the morning. In the afternoon, I go by myself by boat to nearby Paradise Island with “Hotel Atlantis,” whose grounds I stroll through.
After two days on the Atlantic Ocean with some interesting lectures our ship lands in Hamilton in Bermuda on Apr 18. The island belongs to United Kingdom. I take part in a sightseeing tour of the island with stops at an aquarium and a cave. In the afternoon, I visit the Royal Naval Dockyard with its fortress by myself using a ferry and a bus to get there. Later I take photos and video of Gibb’s Hill Lighthouse. The following day I visit St. George by a local bus. It was the first capital of Bermuda. In the afternoon I walk through Hamilton, the present capital of Bermuda including the Hamilton Fort.
