  • In a word, HORTICULTURE ! You *must* take a nature walk through Spittal Pond, one of the Island's greater Nature Reserves (South Shore Road, a fer piece 'Up de Rooooad' from John Smith's Bay). Gravitate toward the beauty of the Mighty Bermuda Cedar Trees (famous here for their residential/industrial usage, and, dangit , they smell great!) Imagine a clod of Touristas olifactically snorting a tree... it's *quite* a sight (and it's only a quarter on the bus. South Shore, St. George's route).

  • Vistas GALORE from the top of Town Hill Road. This is a residential area that most (if not all) tourists will never see. This is the closest to the top you can get, well, me anyway. Just in front, the body of water is Harrington Sound. Beyond that (across the tree-line) is the Atlantic Ocean. At night, this view is spectacular, and if a Cruise Ship is coming in, all the lights are awesome.

  • Nothing is more revealing and enchanting than a boat trip around the Island. You'll see places you never would by land. This is Gibb's Hill Light House from the water. It's kinda 'touristy', but great to see.

    Hamilton Parish: "Tall" Ships Extravaganza

  • This is the SS Denmark (kinda looks like the "Ghost Ship"), but this was an event that drew thousands out to view almost 200 antique and modern vessels passing through the ship channel. Awesome in scope, and fantastic to view. Considering this happened right in our backyard, we had a slew (nautically speaking) of People on the terrace to witness it.

    Southampton: Seeing the Casemates

  • The original prison on the Island is Casemates, and it's still there. The new prison is Westgate, but, imagine, being a prisoner with views of the Great Sound, Ireland Island, and passing boats on the water coming from Dockyards. It is a breathtaking structure, with amazing history.

  • On a point of land high above 'The Hook' of southern Bermuda is the Gov'nors' House. It was being restored when I was there, and I'm sure, if you go to Dockyards, you'll want to see this. Surreal surroundings and beautiful appointments. Definitely see this.

     Interesting reading about Bermuda. When the Tall Ships came into Brisbane, Australia, 1000's of people, including me, went to see them, what a sight!
