Fairmont Southampton

Thursday morning we had an early excursion. We took the ferry into Hamilton.

The houses in Bermuda are just ridiculous. So many movie stars have them here.



We got on a bus in Hamilton and drove around the island a bit. Here is the governor's house. He is assigned by the Queen of England every few years.

Our first stop was the aquarium and zoo.

Aden loved the fish.

Not such a big fan of the sharks though.







He kept wanting to go back and see the turtle. He was disappointed there weren't any cows!





Then went to see the caves. I carried Aden the whole way down and up. That was not fun, but the cave was cool.





Aden was just looking around, mouth hanging open. We told him this is where Batman lives.



The ferry ride back to the boat.



He always has to have one in each hand.

We dropped Aden off with my parents, packed an overnight bag and hopped into a taxi for our romantic night on the island.

It was about a half hour ride to the Fairmont Southampton where Cara stayed 2 weeks ago and Jason stayed last week! It was an amazing place.

Our floor had a lounge with free food, drink and internet! Of course I forgot my computer or I would have done more contemporaneous updates.





A view of the bay and the ocean!

Let's go out to dinner!

The view out of the lounge where we had some great meatballs and ravioli from the italian restaurant at the hotel. Each night, one of the restaurants puts out food in the lounge.



We took another taxi, which are crazy expensive, to the Port Royal golf course where a PGA event is about to be held to eat at the restaurant there on Cara's recommendation.

64 Degrees!

We got there at sunset and ran out onto the beautifully manicured lawns to see.



Of course I didn't have my good camera.

The food was amazing. It was so nice to get a break from the boat food.

Back to the hotel, which was a happening place. A lot f the locals hang out there.

There was a huge pack of very fashionable and quite loud Italians.

We then checked out the dance club.

Strangely we were the only people there, so back to the party in the lobby!
