Favorite thing: The capital, St. John's, is said to have very picturesque brightly coloured buildings, and colonial architecture. Colonial architecture means different things in different places. For a city in South America, Colonial Architecture is Spanish. For an English colony like St. John's it means Georgian or other English type buildings. But the local buildings that were not official buildings are of the Victorian or Bahamian wooden gingerbread buildings.
