Bermuda is known as the pearl island conquered by Great Britain. An island port where trading and slavery once existed; as 19th century comes in and slavery was abolished, Bermuda is now a country in its own right, a mixture of British African descent; the country has its own uniqueness you cannot afford to miss.

Difference between Bermuda and Bermuda Triangle

Bermuda is popularized by a place called “Bermuda Triangle”, navigators attest you tend to get lost in time, once you entered this part; but Bermuda is far away from the mysterious legend, as the latter is located somewhere in Bahamas!

Visiting Bermuda, is another thing, since like any other country, there are lots of interesting places, once you set foot in this country there are so many things you can learn. Bermuda is actually an English outpost in the olden times, when the old world is finding the new world extending the English Empire. That time Spain, Portugal, and England divided the world into three; they inherited this desire and the adage “Divide and conquer!” from Julius Caesar of the Roman Empire.

The Place is quite small, but in so far as the scenery is concerned, you have all you can ask for, it’s a small country, but you can find there lots of interesting places, like St. George Parish. There you will find the mixture of culture of both English Bermudians and African Bermudians. There is a place called Petticoat Lane; were silks are sold at a grand price coming from China and Japan. As the trading between empires meet at the crossroads at sea and exchange products by barter and gold!

A dash of England

Basically, the place is like a small town in Great Britain, lots of Anglican Churches, and most of them are named after their patron saints. St George first and foremost, as the known saint who protects England, the island is peppered with parishes. Inside them are some interesting treasure pieces like chandeliers and some expensive things coming from King William the III of the 17th century. You will see some interesting graveyards as old as three hundred years old; and some royalties too. Since most of them navigate the seas, to discover more countries to conquer.

Another interesting place to visit is St. Catherine fort; it has a museum and a beach of green and blue water. After walking around St. George, the fort is a place where you can rest and have a swim.

South Shore Park of Bermuda, the beach is electrifying, penguins flock this place, but as spring approaches the play of green and blue admixture is mesmerizing, it has pink sands! Have you ever seen the uniqueness and the beauty! You can never miss this, after the grueling days in the stock exchange or long days at the internet making all those software work, and answering long lists of e-mails. This is the break you really deserve.

Bermuda is a small country, which was under the Empire of Great Britain, but later on considered as one of those exotic countries ever conquered by the British Empire, like Hong Kong and India, she has her own uniqueness not only for pearl production but the inhabitants themselves, which can capture the heart of any traveler. One of those places you can’t afford to miss while traveling North America.
