We made it to Bermuda on Friday afternoon without any travel hassles. Our hotel The Fairmont Hamilton Princess was about a 20min ride from the airport. The hotel was a large complex of pink buildings located on the main road. The hotel borders the water and offers a beautiful view of the harbor from the terrace.
The hotel was about a 10min walk from the downtown Hamilton area. We walked there in time for lunch with a list of restaurants in mind.
Most of downtown is along the main street which borders the bay. The British influence was very prominent with a number of English pubs around. We had lunch at The Pickled Onion, partly because we loved the name.
The wraps and burgher combos we had turned out to be really great too. The Bermudian fish chowder was a specialty we really enjoyed. 
After relaxing in the room, we stepped out to town again. For dinner, we went to Hog Penny, a well known pub that Cheers in Boston was modeled after. They also served a few Indian curries with rice. I had fish and chips and Nelson ordered a beef strudel, though I tried in vain to convince him to try steak and kidney pie! Nelson also tried his first rum sizzler. 
After dinner, we explored the by lanes of Hamilton which was mostly shopping and a beautiful public library grounds. Our evening was topped off with great dessert at the hotel restaurant.
