Molly McGee & Me: Hamilton, Bermuda

Hamilton is one of two cities in Bermuda. From the Cruise terminal you can take a ferry there in about... 15-20 minutes. Its a nice little ride with views of the seaside Bermudian homes.

What you must know when visiting Bermuda is that everything - and I do mean everything closes at 5pm. If not before. The only establishment that stays open after this hour is a bar or resteraunt. We wish we had known this...

Here's a pic of Jeff as a bobby while we did a little souvenir shopping.

A pretty clock tower in Hamilton.

My future FIL builds guitars as a hobby. I snapped these pictures of a shop window with him in mind. Check out all the bright colors!

A Royal Post Box. I'm sorry to say it, but these are much prettier than the U.S. sort.

One of the establishments we visited for a drink. The nachos were great. The service was horrible. If you wonder in and find yourself being waited on by a large, blonde, british fellow, request another server. I wouldn't let it stop you from experiencing this little hidey-hole. They have interesting memorabilia from another time on the walls.

Because we misread the ferry schedule - and weren't aware that everything closed at 5! - we wondered into this establishment for another round.

I would certainly recomment both their service and their beverages! ps. While in Bermuda, you must try both the Dark & Stormy and the Rum Swizzle. I prefer the swizzle but if you like ginger beer the Dark & Stormy is for you!

By the way... the more you drink, the more interesting the name becomes to remember. By the end of our trip we had ordered Dark & Drearies and Dark & Gloomies... the locals thought we were pretty funny....
