We're here...

It's Wednesday - our fourth full day on the island and we're starting to settle in. I even took my first bus ride today to get home! It was a little nerve wracking to be in the bus while it barreled down the narrow, twisty roads with what looked like barely inches to spare between the limestone cliffs and the oncoming traffic. It is much more economical than taking taxis everywhere.

Rod's back at work and I'm home with the dog. We went for an hour long walk today down the historic Railway Trail. I hadn't intended to go for that long but I met two women on the trail - also walking their dogs - and walked with them past some very pretty scenery. It had been cloudy and blustery this morning, but just as we came even with Gibb's Hill lighthouse, the sun came out and made the water bright like a jewel.

It seems to be the way of the weather here. One minute it can be cloudy and cool, then the sun comes out and changes everything. I am looking forward to beach weather, though!!

As for tomorrow, I am going to try to ransom our cargo from the airport and get Rod an appointment for a physical (which he needs done before trying for his Bermudian scooter license) so we can stop renting a bike.

Our apartment is quite lovely (and it's just like I remembered - Barbie's dream house pink on the outside) and I think we'll settle in before we know it.
