Any help would be appreciated!:D If you go back to post number 7, I wrote easy to follow directions to the sea glass beach. You take a number 7 bus from the dockyard, and ask to get off at the Naval cemetary. It will take about 10 minutes. Wear crocs for protection just in case. If you see the local people, please be courteous and ask permission to use the stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I do plan to visit St. George on the first day we are there. Alexandria Battery Park seems far to walk from the town. Does anyone know how long of a walk this is.

Writeratsea Posted August 10, 2008 #55 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Thank you, I went back to post 7 and printed the directions. Now I do plan to visit St. George on the first day we are there. Alexandria Battery Park seems far to walk from the town. Does anyone know how long of a walk this is. When we went to Bermuda in May, we walked along the road to Fort Gates which is at the cut where the cruise ships enter St. George. Taking a left from there it is a short walk to the battery. All told it is about a 20 minute walk. You could continue walking towards St. Catherine's fort and beach which would be another 20 minutes past a working dairy farm. But the ocean views along the way are pretty nice and you can swim at the battery as well. I would suggest a taxi as it would only cost about $7 and take about 5 minutes or so. It has been suggested that the sea glass beach near the dockyard is about quanity whereas the battery is about quality. Hope that these directions to both areas are helpful.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still looking at my notes and hopefully will finish it shortly. I am just wondering whether to post it on the Bermuda board or the NCL board. I just wonder if there would be enough interest on the general NCL board. Edward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in the south and the water here is 71 degrees right now which is too cool for me. Our water temps get up in the upper 80's in the summer. I have been spoilt by warm water temps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
