Bermuda
Bermuda was first settled in 1609, when Admiral George Somers and 150 others, were shipwrecked here aboard the the Sea Venture, on their way to the Jamestown colony in Virginia. They spent ten months here and built two ships, the Deliverance and the Patience, from Bermuda cedar and materials stripped from the Sea Venture, Most of the survivors sailed on the two new ships to Jamestown to find the colony decimated. George Somers later returned to Bermuda where he died.
A replica of the Deliverance can be seen in St Georges harbour.It is a beautiful island with lots of greenery and coral coloured houses with white, coral roofs.
There are few cars on the island and tourists use public transport (taxis or buses) or hire scooters. It is quite scary to see inexperienced scooter drivers weaving their way along the narrow roads.
Bermuda is blessed with wonderful beaches, crystal clear waters, and loads of history.
