Bermuda

A margarita on the beach is my idea of a perfect day. But sometimes when traveling in the Caribbean it’s great to take in some of the local attractions. But what do you do? Bus tours? cab? bike? From the Toronto Sun, here’s a couple of great ideas if you’re thinking of traveling to Bermuda…

Bermuda’s star attraction is much, much older. The east end of the island has 1.6 million year-old limestone caves, nicknamed “Nature’s Jewelry Box.” The Crystal Caves — discovered in 1905 by two boys looking for their cricket ball — were first explored with just a bike lamp, but modern lighting and pontoon walkways now reveal each stalagmite, helectite and chandelier stalactite.

Grotto Bay Resort, Bermuda’s only all-inclusive, kid-friendly hotel, has a cavern on site, one of its three options for bathers after the ocean and the hotel’s swim-up bar.
