A perfect breeze through Bermuda

Eleven hours of sleep listening to the sound of ocean waves crashing outside your window is the perfect way to blend into island life. After waking up, we went to the hotel gym for a quick workout. The run and weight-lifting routine seemed so easy. This day started off feeling just right.
The windows in the gym faced he ocean. So, you couldn’t help but have sun in your eyes while running. As always, the only other people in the gym were thin white girls. I know that historically that’s the way you stay in shape, but every once in a while it would hnice to have some more melanin on vacation. Regardless, I started my workout with an easy 30 minute run before moving into weights. I didn’t work out too long as we were ready to each breakfast.
Upon leaving the gym we were treated with an amazing ocean view overlooking the heated pool. While we did not have the opportunity to go swimming during our trip, the view at The Loren was breathtaking and I loved being there.
After breakfast we had time to go with the flow until our driver pickup at 1 p.m. Our itinerary included lunch, a segway tour, and dinner at the Village pantry. All I have to say is that I truly enjoy working in the morning, followed with an afternoon excursion.
We enjoyed lunch at a local beachside reatuarnt,If felt like a sports bar with seafood, local favorite and overly sugar drinks. My tuna tar and ceasar salad was uneventful, but I ensured that I was full before going on our adventujre.

Once we finished lunch, we had. short walk to get on our segway. Aniesia was already an expert at maneuvering, whereas this was my first time. But, as straight A students go, I ensured that I got an A as soon as possible so no one, including myself, would be worried about my driving through the steets.

Miracles and Wonders
I discovered that I am a natural and driving a segway
I found it extremely easy to workout after having two days away from the gym
I caught up on my sleep with the loud crash of the ocean
Again I was reminded hat everything is as you expect it be be
I felt like today was an exploration in self. I felt the same peace and grounding as I do hiking, but with more of the ocean blowing through my hair. I felt safe and protected as their was a guide ensuring that we didn’t have to pay attention to traffic and we made all of the night turns. It just felt extremely good. Today was an day that I do do over and over again simply because the flow seemed just right.
Another thing that was perfect about us being in Bermuda during off-season was that the island was empty. One of the reasons that I don’t like going on tours is that i don’t like being around tourists. Well when you’re the only tourists there, you have all of the sights and learnings to yourself. Why would you want it any other way.
We ended the day with a perfect dinner at Village Pantry and I got in th bed at 8 p.m. fully satisfied and ready for my next adventure.
