Today was our first and only full day on the Island! I was so excited! We stayed at a hotel called the Murray hotel! It was a bit of an older hotel and had beautiful wallpaper. It had a pool (most hotels on the island don't), a fuge shop (which is common) and 2 restaurants. It was right on the main street with other hotels and shops!
