Beautiful Bermuda

Gillian Davis on 29 November 2012
I was lucky enough to visit the beautiful island of Bermuda with the tourist board and it was everything that I expected and more. Most people believe Bermuda to be part of the Caribbean. In fact it lies 100's of miles north in the Atlantic and is less than seven hours away from the UK.

During the months from October to April the weather is mild and perfect for golfing or activity holidays. The summer months are for the sunshine lovers who want to wander along the stunning pink beaches and swim in the clear turquoise water!

Bermuda is 21 square miles, made up of 181 islands connected by bridges. The houses are beautifully kept and painted in pretty pastel shades. The standard of living in Bermuda is very high and it is not a particularly cheap location to visit but so worth it. There are fabulous restaurants serving the very best seafood and you must sample one of the two local drinks, Dark 'n' Stormy and Rum Swizzle.

There is no car hire on the island. You can use either taxi's, of which there are plenty, or scooters. Households are only allowed one car.

There are many hotels to suit all tastes and mainly on a bed and breakfast basis. What could be better than sitting on your patio in the morning sunshine having breakfast delivered to your room? This isn't an island for all inclusive hotels and with the many restaurants serving the local fish chowder to a huge lobster meal you will never go hungry.

There are forts, churches, dockyards, galleries and museums and with plenty of water sports and land sports there is no time to be bored. People are so friendly and happy here; who wouldn't be living on the paradise island of Bermuda?

If you are toying with the idea of a holiday in Bermuda (perfect for honeymoons and ideal for a twin centre with New York) please give me a call and I will be happy to help.
