We went out to Blue for dinner on Thursday night to celebrate Richard and mom’s birthdays- The food was wonderful as usual!
Birthday Dinner at Blue

Jingle Bell Run
The run was a big success! Se we went to Ortanique for a well deserved brunch!
Big Day
Well the big day is finally here… The Jingle Bell Run starts at 7 am. The JBR is the biggest event for the crisis centre every year and this year it looks to be the largest yet with close to 500 people taking place!
We have put a lot of work into making the event great this year- lets home it turns out! Richard has been such a good sport as our living room has been race central for the last month!
10 years
Richard received his award for 10 years at Butterfield tonight!
Weekend activities
We did a bit of an island tour on Sunday afternoon. We drove out to East End for lunch and to get a new pump for our fountain (which is still not working).
We tried Eagle Ray’s for the first time. Most important to us the food was really good, you had nice views and could sit in the shade! We will have to take my mom there when she is down next month.
Then we took a walk to Camana Bay to see the tree and decorations.
Sneak Peak
For those of you who read the blog… you can have a sneak peak at our Christmas video. I still have a bit more editing to do before it is finished, but it is getting close.
Bermuda airport food
Eating at the airport is not something I would recommend or if you have to- don’t order the eggs and bacon.
Final night of Rugby
It was a great final night of rugby!
We started the day with a nice walk along the Bermuda Railway. We got a little over 4 miles in before heading to the grocery store for a few items. Just a few photos from our walk.
Fourways
After coming back from dinner at Beau Rivage and sharing we were impressed with the food, but not the service, they quickly said we had to eat at Fourways. It was on our list so we made reservations. I have to say were were disappointed after last nights meal. The food was ok, but the servers were noting but bus boys. When we asked any details about the food that we had been served they couldn’t tell us anything about it.
I went for the chefs special appetizer. A caribbean lobster with a citrus chutney and a balsamic glaze. the lobster was nice, nothing special but nice.
Richard went for tuna as a started. The tuna was pretty much tasteless and the only real flavor came form the fennel below. It took awhile, but we finally were told the fennel was soaked mostly orange juice with a bit of lemon.
My main was nice as well, I went for a local fish with a fried banana served with a potato cake and avocado sauce. The fish was once again fairly tasteless. The first few bites with the fried banana were lovely, however there was not enough banana to go with the fish.
Finally desert came around, the restaurant is known for their soufflé and it was good. Nothing amazing, but good. I went for strawberry and Richard had the dark and stormy.
Overall it was an interesting experience. It probably didn’t help we were sat next to a couple with a small child and the restaurant was busy, but we just expected more. Would we go back- probably not.
