Day 5, Bermuda
What a beautiful sight greeted me this morning as we docked the Royal Naval Dockyard on Bermuda’s West End.
The Royal Navy Dockyards has been restored with quaint boutiques, a crafts market and a fascinating maritime museum.
Today I chose to do the Bermuda Island drive by minibus excursion. This tour took me the entire length of the island of Bermuda along the coast. I got to walk on the famous South Shore pink sand beach. I got the see Somerset Drawbridge, Gibbs Hill Lighthouse. I had such a great time browsing the shops in the UNSECO World Heritage listed St. Georges.

Day 10, Ponta Delgada, Azores
An overcast morning greeted me as I arrived in the Azores at Ponta Delgada. It was such an experience to be in the mild climate with such lush vegetation. As we drive around the island I awed the impressive white and black churches made from volcanic rocks.
I ventured on the Hot Springs & Botanical Gardens excusion which took me to the emerald green Terra Nostra Garden. This amazing garden has a mix of colourful flowers and exotic vegetation. The visit the hot springs tested my my olfactory sense from the diverse volcanic activity, with fumaroles spouting boiling water and medicinal mud. It was great seeing visitors were enjoying this natural wonder.

Day 14, Copenhagen, Denmark
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Copenhagen, picturesque canals, cobbled squares and copper spires. This historic city is also Scandinavia’s most cosmopolitan city. You could imagine the medieval experience in The Latin Quarter, while enjoying some of the finest shopping, museums, and cafes.
The excursion bus takes in all the major sights of Copenhagen with the first stop being the Little Mermaid, then on to the Amalienborg Palace – winter residence of the Royal Family, the famous Kongens Nytorv square and the Gefion Fountain. As you drive this medieval city you pass the colourful harbour of Nyhavn.
