If
you need to escape from the stress and strain of daily life, then escape
to Bermuda. It is the most relaxing of all the foreign islands off the Atlantic
coastline. Bermuda is a hassle-free environment where you can concentrate
on your tan, explore the island, or have a lively conversation with the
locals. As Mark Twain often said, "Sometimes a dose of Bermuda is just what
the doctor ordered." This is the place to kick back and relax. If you are
into sunning and swimming, it does not get much better than Bermuda with
its pink sands and turquoise seas.
Hamilton, Bermuda
Hamilton is the hub of Bermuda, serving as both its capital and commercial
center. Locals refer to it simply as 'town' - 'going to town' means, without
a doubt, going to Hamilton. Fort Hamilton is a substantial hilltop fort
with a bird's-eye view of Hamilton Harbor. It is one of a series of fortifications
erected in the mid-19th century during a period of rising tensions between
Britain and the USA. The ramparts are mounted with 10-inch rifled muzzleloader
guns, capable of firing 400-pound cannonballs through iron-hulled vessels.
These devastating weapons were, fortunately, never required. The city's
pulse is located in Front Street, a harborfront road lined with turn-of-the-century
Victorian buildings in bright pastel lemon, lime, apricot, and sky blue.
Many buildings have overhanging verandahs, where you can linger over lunch
and watch the boats ferry across the harbor.
King's Wharf, Bermuda
After the American War of Independence, the British were no longer able
to use ports in their former American colonies, so they chose this site
on hilly Ireland Island at the western tip of Bermuda as their 'Gibraltar
of the West.' It served as a dockyard facility and re-supply depot for ships
heading between Nova Scotia and the British West Indies. The fort was built
between 1814 and 1863 by nearly 10,000 convicts who were quartered in unspeakable
conditions on prison ships stationed in the deepwater cove. The fort is
built of limestone blocks in Georgian style and was first used by the British
navy as a base to launch their raid on Washington, DC, in 1814. It later
served as a North Atlantic base during both World Wars but was abandoned
as a costly outpost in 1951. Since then, the buildings have been renovated
and given a second life. The dockyard now includes the fascinating Bermuda
Maritime Museum, located in the fort's former keep, an atmospheric pub,
a movie theatre, a craft market, and the Bermuda Snorkel Park.
St. George's, Bermuda
This unspoiled town overlooking St. George's Harbor was Bermuda's first
capital, and remains its most fascinating sightseeing area. The town is
steeped in period charm as befits a place that was Britain's second settlement
in the New World. Many of its original twisting alleyways and colonial-era
buildings remain intact, and several centuries-old structures have been
preserved and set aside as museums. A handful of waterfront restaurants
provide a perfect setting for atmospheric dining. Nearby Tobacco Bay is
a good swimming and snorkeling beach when you are through with all the history.
