We walked up the Boardwalk to the Trump Taj Mahal for their breakfast buffet. The omelets were made to order and neither Diane nor I could believe how tender they were. Needless to say we both stuffed ourselves. On the walk back to our room I took some photos of the outside of the Trump Taj Mahal. We found that there was colony of feral cats under the boardwalk and found out from a man feeding several other cats that the colony is feed every couple of days and the cats have all been neutered.
Back at our room we got our stuff together and headed to Cape May. Diane wanted to go there to see all the victorian homes. Upon arrival in Cape May we hunted up the visitor's center and got some information on a walking tour and a suggestion as to where to park. Parking on the streets at this time of year proved to be no problem, not like in the summer. We spent a couple of hours walking around the area where the victorian houses were and I took lots of pictures. The house were just spectacular and there were so many. One of the houses was for sale, the house was 2800 sq feet on a 67X115 lot for a mere $1,275,000! And in my opinion needed work.
After we finished walking around the historic houses of Cape May we headed to the Cape May lighthouse. Unfortunately the lighthouse was closed, but I got some pictures of the outside. We walked over to the beach to see the remains of the WWII bunker, you have to see the picture to understand what is interesting with this. On the recommendation of the gentleman at the visitor center we then drove over to Sunset Beach to see the remains of a WWI ship made out of concrete. That just about finishes Cape May, on the way back to Atlantic City we drove through Ocean City, Margate and Ventnor.
When we got back to Atlantic City we headed out to get an early supper. Again we walked down to the Tropicana and found that their buffet wasn't open. We then tried Caesar's and found that we had at least an hour and half wait (I guess we weren't the only ones wanting to eat early). We decided to try the Trinity Irish Pub and Carvery in the Pier at Caesar's and had no trouble getting seated. I had a cup of Potato/Leek soup and Shepard's Pie, Diane had Fish&Chips, then we split the Irish Mist Chocolate Cake for desert. Went back to room and watched TV and read.
