Got my workspace set up but can't start packing till tomorrow so I hopped over to Hamilton to look around...and t's a rather bland town. Reminds me a bit of Stanley, in Hong Kong.
Especially these steps leading up from the street to...
...Queen Elizabeth Park par la ville, which was fun, with sculptures peeking out at each other.
...and the Sessions House...
But everything closes down at 5-5:30, except the bars and high-priced restaurants. And I do mean high-priced. Fast-food? Well...I did find a KFC, which I can't eat...but damn, the smell of their biscuits taunted me.
Even the bus is ridiculous -- $4.50 each way. That's nearly twice as much as the NY Subway! And I finally just hunkered down and had that $20 burger...and it was edible. Barely. And the fries were like you get from Or-Ida...
But...that's what happens when you're an island that has to import everything.
Then there's Front Street, along the harbor...
...and the Sessions House...
