    I visited Bermuda with my wife and her sister-in-law in April 2015 .We took a 7 day cruise from New York on the Norwegian Breakaway, a magnificent ship which docked for 3 days at the King's Wharf . From there we took a ferry ride to Hamilton where we met with retired Bishop Evan Ratteray. We had met him previously at St.John's Church, Hamilton when he was Vicar there in 1985 . We also visited Holy Trinity Cathedral. The island depends on tourism due to its beautiful beaches and interesting traditions. We would like to visit again, hopefully after life returns to normal after the Corona Pandemic is controlled.

    Bermuda Triangle- got the joke. The video was well done! Even the puns. A good mix of history, local culture, and sightseeing. I've cruised to Bermuda 3 times. Going back next May to see more of St. Georges and to see the Crystal Caves again.

    I went to Bermuda back in late November 1991. My dad was in the Royal Navy so had links with the RAF. He managed to get me a flight on an RAF Lockheed Tristar for the mere sum of £25! The food on the aircraft was top notch and I had a bank of 3 seats over the wing all to myself. I was even invited into the cockpit mid-flight. The sound of those RB211 engines was to die for. Sadly the trip was a weekend arrangement so never got to explore much of Bermuda. I am now nearly 40 and would love to take my girlfriend (the woman I want to marry) there for a week to explore the island(s) in full but the cost is putting me off.

    Bermuda lies just one thousand kilometres off the American mainland. The Spanish seafarers who were stranded here on the coral reefs, referred to them as "Devilish Islands". This didn't stop the British, who decided to add the group of islands to the British crown.
    To this day, the "British way of life" is celebrated. The locals, resplendent in shorts and kneehigh socks and with military honours, celebrate the Queen's birthday, fight for the survival of an already, ostensibly extinct bird species, cultivate vegetables in communal gardens and get their drinking water form their roofs.
