Publisher's Synopsis
Bermuda Self Travel. Caribbean Islands. Bathed in the balmy turquoise waters of the Sargasso Sea, the string of islands that is Bermuda is ringed by treacherous reefs that make it one of the world's top diving destinations. With its pastel-colored houses and stately mansions drowning in lush greenery and fragrant frangipani and bougainvillea, their step-like white roofs poised to catch rainwater, Bermuda feels like a genteel chunk of rural England lifted into warmer climes. But it's much more diverse than that, with British, North American, African, Portuguese and West Indian influences adding to the unique cultural melange. In spite of its tiny size just 20 miles by 2 miles Bermuda's museums and art galleries add touches of urban sophistication and its many forts attract history buffs, while its varied topography makes it ideal for all manner of water sports, hiking, golfing, or just lazing on a picture-perfect pink-sand beach. Bermudians are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. They are always willing to stop and help out a lost tourist with directions, offer advice on their favorite dining spots or just sit and chat about what a lovely day it happens to be. The friendly natives, beautiful scenery and warm climate make Bermuda one of the nicest places on earth.
