The wind has picked up here, which has been bringing in some sargassum, and also Portuguese man o' wars. This is the time of year when they wash ashore in Bermuda. It makes my decision to not go in the water seem very smart!
It's still pretty though.
The hotel staff is constantly raking the beach and burying the sargassum and man o wars. We just spent the day on the beach reading books. No pictures of breakfast because we just ate yogurt (boring!). We shared a plate of shrimp tacos the beach for lunch. I took a picture but they are buried under a pile of french fries.
Pretty flowers
Dinner was at Aurora. We went here back in September and enjoyed it, so decided a repeat visit was in order. The seveche of the day was made with local red hind and prickly pear, so of course we had to get it! The kitchen kindly split and plated it for us. Here's my portion, a perfect amount to start.
For entrees, my husband got the same shrimp and lobster linguini he enjoyed back in the fall. (that's a Maine lobster on there, Bermuda lobster is out of season). He pronounced it delicious.
I opted for a warm nicoise salad made with local tuna. The fish was topped with a soft poached egg which made a nicely runny sauce for the potatoes. This was really delicious.
For dessert, we shared a dark chocolate soufflé. It was very, very rich. We only managed a few bites each. We finished the salted caramel ice cream on the side though!
The sunset was nice from our table
The weather is supposed to be pretty mixed today, so I'm not sure that we will get up to much during the day other than lazing about. Tonight we are trying a new-to-us restaurant called Huckleberry. It's got a farm to table type concept. I am hoping it doesn't rain so we can eat out in the garden.
