    Getting TO/AROUND: Again, water is the basic mode of transport to *really* see the Island. Bikes are nice, and the "Railway Walk" is stunning, but the Ferries and Boat Tours are better.

    Transportation: 100 cc Peugeot "Elysio" Bike

    Getting TO/AROUND: Well, it's not *really* a motorcycle, but it's transportation. Tourists can only rent a 50 cc bike, but that's good enough. When I first moved to Bermuda, I lived at the Palmetto Bay Hotel (gone now), and there was an intersection (3-way) just in front of the property. I had the pleasure of watching 2 tourists run into each other, head on, but it wasn't too bad. They hit front wheel to front wheel and just bounced off each other. It was hysterical! (Nobody was hurt... just embarassed!).

    Transportation: The Traditional Bermuda Pink Bus

    Getting TO/AROUND: I have absolutely no idea who these people are, but it shows the 'state-O-the-art' bus vehicles that careen around the island. It's kinda expensive (relatively), but at some points, it beats the heck outta takin' the bike everywhere. Lemme tell ya, these drivers can DRIVE! When I took the bus to work (cuz I knew the weather was gonna get icky), and we went up North Shore road, it was spooky! 25kmh was the speed limit, but hell, they FLEW past the limestone walls at great-neck speed. No need to post a "keep arms aboard" sign, it was obvious.

    btw, a good 'rule of thumb'... if you are waiting for a bus, blue poles are inbound, pink poles are outbound.

    Getting TO/AROUND: The best way around the Island is (naturally) on the water. This view is out our back window (or, rather was), but you can see for eternity.... almost...

     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!
