Beautiful Bermuda Travel : 10 reasons to book a unique trip
Share by Melanie Reffes
Steeped in British tradition and tinged with Caribbean charm, Bermuda is a fish-hook shaped string of 181 islands, islets and rocks; most of them uninhabited and some so small there's barely room for the birds to build their nests in the trees. Anchored in the turquoise Atlantic Ocean 650 miles east of North Carolina, temperatures rarely reach 90 degrees Fahrenheit and high season is from April to November when the weather is warmest, unlike other Caribbean islands that swarm with tourists during the cold winter months back home. Salt-in-the-air and sand-in-the-hair beaches are pink and there are more golf courses per square mile here than anywhere else in the world. Finding inspiration on the island, novelist Mark Twain said it best when he noted, "You can go to heaven if you want. I'd rather stay in Bermuda."
Getting around, Bermuda style
Measuring 21-square-miles, it's easy to get from one end of Bermuda to the other on a pink and blue Bermuda Breeze Bus (a day pass goes for USD$19.00), rented scooter (remember to scoot on the left side of the road), ferry from Hamilton, St. George and the Dockyard or you can hire a taxi driver who is also a tour guide. With about 3000 cab drivers (65,000 people live on the island), it's no surprise 400 are licensed tour guides. This means they are certified by the Bermuda Tourism Authority and have passed an exam ensuring they know enough about the island to entertain tourists who want to learn. Larry Rogers is one of those Blue Flag guides and for USD$50.00 an hour, he'll happily take up to four people on a tour pointing out the moon gates, pink beaches, hip happy hours and if you ask nicely, he'll show you where actor Michael Douglas and his family lives (in one of the Ariel Sands Villas) and where former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg plays golf.
