This is a picture of where we are staying...there is one of the moon gates at the entrance. The moon gates are all over the place here. This morning we slept in...REALLY slept in...didn't get up until 10 o'clock! (Well, that's 9:00 our time). We ate some fruit for breakfast, then headed out for the day. We walked the 5ish kilometres (that's how they spell it here) to the city of Hamilton, which is the "Big City" here. We stopped at one of the many beaches along the way- the sand was very squishy, and we sank in about two inches with each step. It sure is pretty! Here's a pic...
This one is Elbow Beach...there were a few people out there- probably tourists like us because all the Bermudians are walking around in coats! And it's in the 70's! In Hamilton, first we went to the little place to get a bus and ferry pass. Then we started looking for some lunch. We found a KFC...LOL. Yes, we're in Bermuda and we ate at KFC. It's a bit different than in the states, but it was pretty good. We took it and sat in Par-La-Ville Park while we ate. There were little birds with bright greenish-yellow bellies waiting for people to drop some food. Then we walked around the city...we went into a little mall and there was a group of young school kids there for the lighting of the mall Christmas tree and then they sang "We Wish You a Merry Christmas". It was pretty neat. We did a bit of shopping, but mostly looking, then we started our walk back to the apt, since it was getting later in the day and we didn't want to be out after dark.
This picture is a section of the Railway Trail that we walked on during our trek back from Hamilton. There is nothing left of the railroad tracks that used to be there. The trail goes all across the island, but we only walked a small part of it today. We stopped and got some things to make sandwiches for dinner. Then we played a game of Cribbage with the deck of cards we bought today. Now we're watching some TV and giving our feet a rest before tomorrow!!
