Swimming with the fish

Today I saw how helpful Bermudians are. I was going to pick up my company's latest employee from the guest house so that we could go snorkelling. Trouble is, this place is extremely hard to find. I circled the area a couple of times before pulling into a car dealership to ask for directions. The guy I asked offered to help me find it by having me follow him on his bike. Then later in the day, on my way home, I decided to pull off the road and check out the map to plan my route. Right away, a couple walked over and asked where I was trying to get to. They said that they worried when they saw someone looking at a map alone at night. As they were going part of the way, they also offered to let me follow them to the main road.

As I mentioned, me and the new girl headed to the south shore to check out the snorkelling. First stop was Church Bay which is known for it. We'd only just got into the water when we looked below the surface and immediately saw amazing looking fish. There were parrot fish, sergeant majors, some large purple-blue ones, and angel fish, to name a few. Words can't even describe how stunning this underwater scene was. Just take my word for it, it really was amazing.

Floating with your back to the sun for hours = a very red back. Sun screen or no sun screen.
