Bermuda

[Manatee]

Has anyone been to Bermuda lately? My wife and I went there in 1960, I suspect it may have changed a bit over that period of time.

Tourists were not permitted to rent/drive cars, They were only allowed to rent mopeds. They were fun, but you had to pay attention, they drive on the left and the roundabouts go clockwise.

The taxis were small English convertibles fitted with surrey tops. No vehicles had air conditioning.

Elbow Beach, the hotel where we stayed had a morning beach party for honeymooners. We had been married for a year, but they said that was close enough. It was fun.

I've not been for years. Always intended to go back but never did. My husband and I were there around 1970 for a business conference and tacked on a few days for fun and sightseeing. We stayed at a large pink hotel slightly outside Hamilton and had to take the hotel jitney into town or rent a moped.

Early 90s, I went alone and stayed in a small b & b in downtown Hamilton. I loved both trips especially seeing all the pastel painted houses and lush greenery.
