Bermuda: More Sight Seeing

On Sunday, we had three things on our sight seeing itinerary. Our first stop was at the Crystal and Fantasy caves ($27pp). These were caves of spectacular stalactites and stalagmites formations. Both caves were about 90 steps underground and had well lit path ways. At a growth rate of is around 0.13 mm a year, these structures give a subtle indication of the world. We had good tour guides for both caves. Though there are similarities between the two, it was worth seeing both caves. As our guide said the crystal caves was a very romantic place that transports to you a magical world.

The caves were located just off the road from Swizzler Inn, where we stopped for lunch. We shared a delicious pizza and a rum swizzler and it was a great dining spot. We enjoyed out door dining with a refreshing light breeze. It was also very conveniently located opposite the bus stop on the main road. So after lunch we took the bus to St. George, the oldest city in Bermuda.

We walked around the downtown area but most of the stores were closed. We saw the St. Peter's Church, which is oldest surviving Anglican church in continuous use outside Great Britain. We walked by the City Hall and took in the beautiful sights by the ocean before heading to the Aquarium. It was a nice way to spend an hour as we walked around the Aquarium and Zoo. The entrance was very reasonable at $10pp. Though the grounds were small, there were a few interesting animals such as the kangaroo, monkeys, that we enjoyed seeing.

Our last dinner on the terrace at the hotel.The food was pricey but very good. Next morning, we had a quick dip in the pool and relaxed poolside before heading out for brunch at the near by Bouchee cafe. I really enjoyed my fluffy pancakes. Soon after it was time to say good by to Bermuda and to the omnipresent Bermuda shorts!!!
