so mr. martini and I just touched down in Galveston it is absolutely wonderful
we're at the Tremont hotel and the customer service has just been marvelous
so far when I told the front desk that I wanted to be some videos on the area you
wouldn't believe all the information that they gave me and spent so much time
with me just show me all the great things that I want to film so let's go
take a look at Galveston Island
so we've been in Galveston for a day now fog came in it's kind of rainy because
it is February but it is an awesome place
the cruise ships are just to our right and in there purely right there in
Galveston Harbor the food has been amazing so far and that's pretty central
down that way on the Strand and it's pretty cool it's almost like if I've
actually never been to New Orleans but it reminds me of what New Orleans would
be like and I just really love it so far what do you think small version of her
exactly exactly there's been nothing but music and good
food it's just been so far just wonderful and number people hey bring
your rednecks out there you can buy a 16 ounce beer for two dollars and walk up
and down the street how cool is that it's cool so Galveston Texas Galveston
Island Texas just south of Houston
so every every reference that we saw about Galveston always mentioned the
Kings confessori in other words a fancy word for a candy store so we're gonna go
check it out they have soda jerks honey as well soda
jerks and this place is awesome school is looking
look at all this candy this is probably the coolest candy store I've ever been
in
so we're down on Michael Avenue on the corner of Michael Avenue and ship
mechanic row and we're coming up on the Tremont which is just ahead of us which
is our hotel which has a lot of its own very rich history here's the cruise
ships right there so if you say if the Tremont you can literally get to your
cruise ship they have really nice shuttles at the Tremont that will take
you right to your cruise ship make sure that you schedule it when you check-in
but this is a wonderful hotel
so we're on our way to our room this hotel is so historic and absolutely
beautiful the Tremont house hotel and then it has a sister hotel the Galvez
which is sits on the beach this one is right on the Strand and it's absolutely
amazing
very 471
this room it's amazing it's this hard living room
and then we have this really nice master suite
begin a chance come down to the wharf area here 21 and check out the theater
here they have a wonderful video on the great storm experience and also the
Pirates genre Lafitte boom hit out here for quite some time
the movie is really good about the great storm it really shows what happened here
in 1900 so pure 21 right at the world oh no it's Lafitte himself oh no no II
love these feet
we're in the Fisherman's Wharf restaurant it's really cool you can get
down on the deck and you have this nice view they're sold tall ship pretty cool
down on pier 21 there's some marvelous restaurants we just had a great shrimp
lunch the fog has moved in you can't even see the oil platforms anymore that
are across the bay where those cable shifts and you can barely see the
carnival cruise ship anymore because the fog is rolled in shown you we were
taking pictures down here and here 21 this is where you can even watch
boats go out and then there's Fisherman's Wharf restaurant is another
place we've showed you so it's kind of a different perspective of watching the
boats so we're on the Malheur don't you have closed the Tremont is to the ship
that's the Tremont right there oh you're looking so stoic
us do it for you you look like the old man in the scene would you like a ride
on my yacht
this is the strand and there's just some really really beautiful architecture to
see here great places to drink and eat I had a fantastic lunch so what the heck
is going on out here
no we are having
or guinea reberty's but we're having the honeydew we're at the Tremont hotel
we're having the blueberry martini and the honeydew martini and they are
excellent
so I'm looking out at Galveston Island this is the Strand area right here and
if you can see on their eyes and it's kind of hard to see it's a cloudy day
this is the ocean right here so you can see how thin the island itself is I'm
standing on a cruise ship so I'm in the bay itself and you can see the ocean
right there
we're on our way to the hotel Galvez we're walking along the beach Ebron
there's the beach there's the Galvez
Murdock's this is wonderful veranda that you come
and sit at and you can also get a frozen margarita inside their store it's this
huge store right on the water
or the fishtail restaurant across to pleasure pier and as you can see they
have like the swings and ferris wheel it's a really nice restaurant these
trolleys here you can take all around the island I believe they're only like a
dollar it's a nice transportation option
highly recommend Willie geez boy definitely order the lemon drop the
cosmopolitan and then they have this great prickly pear margarita but jazz
looks awesome yeah one thing we've noticed on the island here is that
everybody drives around the Rhinos and goes to dinner
it's kind of cool so we're in Willy G's having dinner and some drinks and look
at these awesome drinks that the bartender made us we've got a lemon drop
made perfectly and a Cosmo and aren't these
so we're a trilogies and this martini is having that you having the crab lobster
the lobster bisque soup oh my god is to die for
I'm having the shrimp and crab salad with a balsamic vinegar on it up is so
that this place is awesome of course I have to at Willie's I need
to try the Cosmo this is a awesome glass that's
all that stem s
so we went to the heesun Space Center today which was totally awesome got to
see the saturn vibe which was a life long dream of mine we took one of the
tour's we took the tour that was for astronaut training you have a choice
between two the Mission Control tour or the astronaut training tour I kind of
wish I took the Mission Control one because I'm actually a little more into
that I thought I was gonna have time to do both and I didn't because we ended up
spending about three hours there and we needed to get back yeah we also got to
see couple of the cruise ships leaving today which was amazing I am beat I wish
I could go out and do home more touristy things but there's so much to see here
there I just don't have enough time we're leaving tomorrow morning on our
cruise I am so looking forward to that we could hear our ship coming in it's
literally a block from the Tremont hotel and we can hear the horn of the ship
coming in so we're getting very excited for this cruise and we leave tomorrow
morning and then we come back here and we'll be staying at the Sheraton when we
get back because the Tremont was all booked and so was the Galvez so we're a
little disappointed about that but we are looking forward to staying at the
Sheraton and we're going to be exploring the other side of the island the
Oceanside where we've been exploring the Strand side and the Galveston Bay side
for the last couple of days so we're gonna give the other side a chance when
we return go galveston calm for some and wonderful
