Bermuda: What to See and Do
By Mary Johnson Tweedy
IF YOU follow the pattern of most visitors you will thoroughly enjoy sleeping twelve of your first twenty-four hours in Bermuda. The slower pace and usually soothing climate of the Islands produce an almost immediate reaction of lazy relaxation, ideal conditioning for a holiday that can then be as lethargic or athletic as you like.
But regardless of how much you relish the somnolence of lying on a beach, the violence of a stiff game of singles or the rare chance to buy next year's Christmas presents at devalued prices, you really should take out some time for sight-seeing.
You can hit the high spots in a few quick trips or you can leisurely roam the Colony and explore its history, its natural beauty and its architecture. Bermuda Journey by William Zuill * will serve as an excellent cicerone if you read it before you start out. The book is a series of leisurely rambles that will take you into most of the lanes and along every important road. In an unhurried fashion he tells you in interesting detail the history, legends, background and significance of almost every house, church, natural and man-made curiosity in the Colony.
Organized tours of the Islands are arranged by the Bermuda Reservation Bureau, American Express, Thomas Cook, Simmons Tours, Mr. Graham Perinchief, or you can go by taxi.
Regardless of how little time you can spend, you should see Hamilton, St. George, Somerset, the South Shore and the Lighthouse, the Aquarium, Devil's Hole and the Caves. Going to and from your hotel and these places will, incidentally, take you over most of the Colony.
