In the area around the Dockyard, there are numerous shops. One of our favorites was the Glassworks where glass art was made by hand and the old form of glassblowing.

As we came off of the ship on Friday morning, we hailed a taxi. "Niecy" Fuller was our driver. She took us on a tour of the island and drove us to Hamilton and waited for us to do some shopping at Triningham's. She was a wonderful person and truly made our visit a pleasure.

On Friday afternoon, we took Greg Hartley's Underwater Helmet Walk Tour. This was spectacular and it is something that people of all ages can participate in. You simply walk down the ladder  into the water. When you get in up to your shoulders, they place the weighted helmet over your head and you step right down onto the sand bottom of the reef. Greg takes you on the tour and you are surrounded by fish. Greg even gives you the chance to have a live Moray Eel pass through your hands.
