Every day I get
more and more excited! Sure, there’s going to be a packing crisis at the last
minute, and my phone bill will be insane, and I’ll probably make several
klutzy, bumbling first impressions, but that’s okay! I’ll be in BERMUDA!
Bermuda may be
relatively small, but there’s so much I want to explore there! Island life, the
culture, the history, meeting new people, wildlife, nature, and get me to the
ocean STAT! There are a few things in particular I’m looking forward to, so let’s talk about it.
1.
The Royal Naval Dockyards
I’ll
be living in this area, and I feel so lucky because of the history and
attractions nearby. Inside the fort there’s the Bermuda Maritime Museum, and
the view from that hill is awesome. Just outside is the Clocktower Mall, a
movie theater, lots of shopping and dining, and the King’s Wharf, where all the
cruise ships come in. The nearby Royal Naval Cemetery, also known as ‘The Glade’,
should be an interesting site as well. My mom loves cemeteries, and it’s easy
to see why when you think about all the history in them and their peaceful air.
There’s also a couple of beaches close by, and hopefully some good snorkeling.
Sometimes in order to let off steam or relax all I need is to get in the water
and out of my head.
2.
Tobacco Bay
I’ll
want to visit every beach, but this is probably the most unique beach I’ve seen
whilst researching, because of the rock formations. It’s very popular and
appears to have some interesting reef fish (thanks YouTube!). In St. George’s,
on the East End, it’s also very near the Unfinished Church, a structure originally
intended to replace St. Peter’s Church after it was damaged by a storm, but due
to lack of funds and focus was abandoned and left to serve as attractive ruins
open to the public.
*I intended this
to be one post, but it’s a little long so I changed it to two. Yippee!
