We never stayed at the Grand Hotel while we were there, but it is beautiful. The lack of cars is so amazing and when you get off of the ferry they load your luggage up on their bikes-it is amazing how much luggage they can carry on one bike! We spent a few 4th of July's there and it was great! Have fun!

A bicycle ride all the way around the island along the shoreline, a carriage ride along tree-lined streets, no cars/noise, the most charming homes and inns you've ever seen, and the most perfect little stone church... not to mention the Grand Hotel...

Also starring Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour, and also Jane Seymour's wonderful hair.<br /><br />Please promise me that you'll wonder down to the water's edge just as the sun is beginning to set and hum a few bars of Rachmaninoff's "Variations on a Theme by Paganini."Scot Meacham Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16546913131597435214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-35920208469199664982009-06-24T08:35:02.237-07:002009-06-24T08:35:02.237-07:00Oh I want to go there right now! I'm sure you ...Oh I want to go there right now! I'm sure you must have seen the hotel which was famously featured in "Somewhere in Time". One of the prettiest scene was seeing Richard for the first time Elise whsiper, "Is it you? Is it?" with John Barry's lovely score playing in the background. It must be so romantic to get married at this hotel. I heard there is "Somewhere in Time" theme for weddings at this hotel, is it true? The costume in this photo reminds me of Princess Diana's outfit she wore during a Royal Tour to Canada in 1983. It's so romantic and dollie like.
