Milaandra Posted May 28, 2009 #3 Share Posted May 28, 2009 http://www.swizzleinn.com/contact.html One of the buses from Hamilton to St. George goes right by it, with some lovely scenery along the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBuff Posted May 28, 2009 #4 Share Posted May 28, 2009 There's definitely one right by the Crystal & Fantasy Caves. Can't miss the sign once u get off the bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltsnh Posted May 28, 2009 #5 Share Posted May 28, 2009 We are arriving on a Sunday on Spirit and thought this would be a good place to go for lunch and a bus ride... question... which number bus goes from the Dockyard or is it easier to take the ferry to Hamilton and then a bus.... Wanted to go to Horseshoe maybe on this day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milaandra Posted May 28, 2009 #6 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Ferry to Hamilton and the #10 or #11 bus towards St. George. There is a second location near Horseshoe though, and someone posted that it is just a bit further on the #7 from the Dockyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooder Posted May 29, 2009 #7 Share Posted May 29, 2009 We were thinking of going for a late lunch after some sightseeing in St. George (taking the ferry from KW). Do you know which bus we would take from St. George? We then plan to take the bus from the Swizzle to Hamilton (would that still be #10 and #11?) and the ferry back to KW. Does this make sense? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! Perfect sense. #10 and #11 are the ones. You can also take a #1 or #3 although it is a longer trip but good for anyone who has been to BDA before and wants a change of scenery. It goes past 2 of the big golf courses for which Bermuda is famous. We also passed Ariel Sands but we didn't see Michael Douglas or Catherine Zeta-Jones.:p:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We love the scenery - even with no celebrites. :) Which bus will I take from St. George to get to the Swizzle Inn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartbda Posted May 29, 2009 #10 Share Posted May 29, 2009 The #10 or #11. I know all these bus routes sounds confusing but there are only 3 main roads in Bermuda so you really can't go toooo far wrong.:) Be sure to check the front door on the Swizzle for the "signature" from our Roll Call last year,The Bermundas.:p:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot thank you enough - it is almost like having relatives on the island. :) I may be pushing my luck, but I have one more question. I had been thinking that we didn't need day passes since we wouldn't be taking that many trips - I was going to get a book of tickets. But I just read that the tickets don't cover the ferries? So, now I think I should just simplify my life and get the 3 day pass. Is that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartbda Posted May 29, 2009 #12 Share Posted May 29, 2009 'muder, The tickets DO cover the ferries. I've even posted a scan of the brocure from the BDA Dept. of Trans. showing the wording but some still think the tickets aren't accepted on the ferry. Now, if it's changed from last year, that's another story.;) Even if the tickets would not be good, a 3 day pass is not usually needed with the time you get in and then leave, if you plan your trips ahead.

You are a gem!! Thank you. I read it online and we have already discussed how unreliable that can be. ;) But I thought I could trust Bermuda.com. I think we'll ask when we buy just for a final check if things have changed, but then plan to buy the tickets. Our trips are pretty minimal.

iheartbda Posted May 29, 2009 #14 Share Posted May 29, 2009 You are a gem!! Some people don't think so.:D:p Thank you. I read it online and we have already discussed how unreliable that can be. ;) But I thought I could trust Bermuda.com. I think we'll ask when we buy just for a final check if things have changed, but then plan to buy the tickets. Our trips are pretty minimal. Yes, just ask and make any adjustments. We actually have some tix left from last year so with a new book of 30, we're good to go most anywhere. Sometimes it's fun to take a ferry to nowhere in particular and especially if you get a "local". Cheapest sightseeing tour ever, except no narration and you don't know what you're seeing.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peg013 Posted May 30, 2009 #15 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Bermuder, I second that she is right. The only thing not accepted on the ferry is "transfers". Tokens, tickets and passes are accepted on busses and ferries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokens, tickets and passes are accepted on busses and ferries. Thanks, Peg! If I have calculated right, we will make 16 trips, but of course things change. So, we are going to buy a book of 15 and then buy a token the last day if needs be. It'll be a lot less expensive than buying 2 3-day passes. 14 HOURS!!!! Have the bestest time!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
