On Saturday we rented a scooter! Bermudians either drive really small cars or they drive scooters. Thankfully Bill drove since they drive on the left. It was a really windy day and we could definitely feel the wind as we drove out of St. George's into Hamilton exploring.



Our first stop was the Aquarium/Zoo, which Bill and I really enjoyed. The aquarium houses really neat fish, lobsters, octopus, sharks, etc. -- things that neither of us had ever seen before. AND they had a nurse shark, similar to the one that Bill and I saw when we were snorkeling in St. John.


The zoo was neat too. We saw flamingos, peacocks, turtles, otters, wallabies, and more. We also saw seals being fed by their trainers, which was really amazing.

After the Aquarium/Zoo we kept going towards Hamilton. We stopped at downtown Hamilton for lunch and then walked around trying to find the yacht club in the event they had a marine store. When Bill asked a local where we could find a marine store, he told us to hop in and, not only drove us there, but walked us into the store and introduced us to the marine staff. Unfortunately they didn't have what we were looking for.

It started to rain so we stopped and had a drink while waiting for the weather to clear up since neither of us had a rain jacket and we had a 45 minute scooter ride ahead of us to get back to the boat.

Carol and Bill graciously had us for a delicious dinner and we had an early night.
