Bermuda is a small but beautiful jewel in the British Territorial Crown, lying about 650 miles off the east coast of the United States. ‘The Bermudas’ are actually a group of around 180 islands. The seven largest islands are connected by causeways and bridges. the land above sea level is limestone formed over long centuries by coral and crushed sea shells. The ruggedly elegant limestone adds a wonderful character to the style of the island’s architecture.
Disembarking Ventura in such a beautiful setting as ‘The Royal Dockyard’ in such glorious sunshine is one of the prime reasons for cruising. Jovial and friendly locals make this a destination to behold. We simply took the ferry to Hamilton (30 minutes). Enjoying not only the splendours of the compact Capital City complete with Anglican Cathedral but, enjoying the biggest fish sandwich for lunch I had ever encountered. After studying the Government area, Cenotaph and memorials we decided to take the bus back to The Royal Dockyard. What an unusually reasoned decision considering the beautiful scenery along the route (1 hr 15 mins) What a truly inspiring destination to visit.
Verdict: worth the trip alone, a bit expensive but invigorating destination full of British History. The following pictures are of the islands taken from the bus.
