This week I had the privilege of visiting the lovely island of Bermuda.<\/p>\n

The first thing I would say is that its a really nice place ; in part I have to say its a lot like Cayman. \u00a0The buildings are very “British Colonial” and the overall feel of the place is safe, clean and and overall nice place. \u00a0Where it differs is that it is somewhat “hilly” although there are no mountains.<\/p>\n

One other big difference is the number of scooters that are around. \u00a0In Bermuda the law states that there can only be one car per residence. \u00a0So most people have a scooter to get around town. \u00a0Its funny to see ladies with high heels and executives in suits on their little Honda scooter zipping around town.<\/p>\n

Here is a scooter parking lot in downtown Hamilton. \u00a0Everywhere you look there are scooters parked in the street.<\/p>\n

Right in Hamilton, the world headquarters of Bacardi ; who knew! \u00a0This sure was lovely ; note the dual waterfalls. \u00a0Also, the lawn was one of the most perfectly manicured I have ever seen.<\/p>\n

View from “Blu” restaurant of Pitts Bay. \u00a0Very nice.<\/p>\n

I saw quite a few of these when going for a run one morning. (note : running in Bermuda with the hills is soooo much more difficult than Cayman). \u00a0 \u00a0Cutting though this rock to make the roads must have been quite a job.<\/p>\n

Ok … the finale. \u00a0 As the title of my post says “When in Rome … ” so I dressed like the Bermudians \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0This is acceptable business attire here. It definitely felt funny to wear shorts like that with a tie, and of course the socks!<\/p>\n

My trip to Bermuda was very quick but I really hope to get to go back at one point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
