In fact, this is the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo. It showcases local fish and also animals from other islands. These are the Caribbean Flamingos. In the early 1990's some were bred and placed back in the wild to begin a new breeding colonies.

Spanish Rock, Spittal Pond
Spanish Rock, or more correctly Portuguese, at sunrise. The plaque shows the inscription by a shipwrecked sailor, originally thought to be a Spaniard, but was probably in fact Portuguese.

Hurricane Spider
It's said that you know a hurricane is coming if they start spinning webs low to the ground. When they're up high you know you'll be storm free for a while.

Club Med goes BANG BANG BANG!!
This was an old Club Med hotel, previously a Holiday Inn, but it has been a derelict eyesore for the last 20 years or so. It finally was brought down today in less than 5 seconds by tons of dynamite. Sooo exciting!! The area had been cordoned off but 100s boats anchored offshore for prime viewing. Just a normal Monday morning event here in Bermuda...I wish!

This quaint old chapel exhibits some characteristic Bermuda architecture. The structure in the foreground is actually the roof of a water tank, collecting rain from the roof. Purest water available!
