Bermuda, Day 6

Last night it started raining and it was still raining this morning. We took our time getting ready but it was still raining when we left. We hurried down to the bus stop...didn't get too wet. We took the bus to Hamilton, where we WERE going to ride a ferry over to the Royal Naval Dockyard, but because of the rain we ended up taking the bus. Once we got there, the first place we went to was the Clocktower Mall. We walked around there for a bit- we were about the only people in there! After that we walked over to the Maritime Museum. They had some nifty stuff about the naval history of Bermuda, the evolution of diving equipment and the history of Bermuda boat racing. The coolest part of the place though, was the dolphins. There were quite a few of them and you could go right up to the edge of their tank. We had fun watching them for a while, and this was most of our pictures today. The first one is the baby- he is only 6 months old and was having fun playing with this basketball.This second picture was during the "show". We walked up to see the Commissioner's house after our first visit to the dolphins. There were a lot of paintings and such in there. We even saw some of the "Dockyard Cats" while we were walking around. Then we went back to the dolphins for the show at 3:00. This next pic is one of the three dolphins who performed jumping in the air.
This last dolphin pic is one of the three with his head up out of the water. They were very friendly and talkative. Dolphins talk loud!
This final picture is one of us inside the Clocktower Mall at the OFFICIAL TIP OF THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE!! That's right. But we didn't see anyone disappear...
After that we got a snack, visited the Craft Center and then we rode the ferry back to Hamilton where we ran into the grocery store for some dinner, then caught a bus back to the apt. We ate our dinner and now we're watching the Food Network show about the gingerbread houses at the Grove Park Inn. Tonight we'll be packing up as much as we can, and in the morning we'll be calling a taxi to take us to the airport. Next time you hear from us we'll be back in NC!
