Kim rescheduled her driving lesson. Too much going on right now and she’ll be in Geneva all next week for work. One of the reasons to use a driving instructor is to have help in getting the Bermuda driver’s test scheduled. Seems that driving instructors book blocks of test times for their students. Result, of course, is that without an instructor it might take four to six weeks to get an appointment. We’re learning the system.

We did, however, decide on a car. Never thought we’d own a Peugeot before, but I think it’ll be this one: http://www.peugeot.co.uk/model_range/images/307-cc_big.jpg. We won’t be able to pick it up until one of us has a driver’s license, so it might be a few weeks yet.

You may have noticed that I haven’t mentioned MY driving or testing or licensing. That’s because I’m still officially only a visitor and can’t apply for my learner’s permit yet. The only wheels available to me are taxis and rented scooters. Fortunately, with our current, temporary location there’s very little need for me to have wheels, so it’s cheaper to use taxis whenever there’s a need.

We spent the afternoon doing a bit of sightseeing. Took the ferry from Hamilton to the far west end of the island, then took the bus back. Check out some photos I took from the ferry at http://s220.photobucket.com/albums/dd289/kimandneil/Bermuda%2020Sep08/.

Kim leaves for Geneva tomorrow evening. Our containers arrive at our new home on Monday and Tuesday so I expect to be busy unpacking, sorting, putting away, and generally trying to set up the house. We’re looking forward to getting reasonably settled.

Oh --- and a first for me. A couple (obviously tourists) came up to me on the street yesterday and asked for directions. The best part was that I knew what they were looking for and could actually direct them to it.
