DealDash Travels: Bermuda

  Bermuda is just a quick 2 hour plane ride from Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Charlotte, and many other East Coast cities. Bermuda is also one of the few beach destinations that have cruises leaving from Boston and New York, instead of having to fly all the way down to Florida to take your cruise. Aside from the quick flight time, when you arrive in Bermuda it’s like a whole new world, especially if you are travelling in the winter.

  If you’re still feeling chilly now in the springtime, you might be interested to know that the air and water temperatures in Bermuda in May are both around 75 degrees. Bermudians consider May the start of their summer season and can be seen enjoying the beaches already.

  Another fun fact about Bermuda is that if you are a tourist you cannot rent a car! That might sound strange, but once you have been to Bermuda and experienced its tiny roads and blind hairpin curves you will most likely understand why. Luckily for tourists, though, Bermuda has an excellent bus system. There are only 11 bus routes, and most of them all leave from the Central Terminal in their downtown area. If a completely map-illiterate person such as myself can get around without getting lost then I’m sure that you can, too.

  If busses aren’t your thing, there’s no reason to worry. You can also rent a scooter, take a ferry, or even just get a taxi. If you’re staying at a resort in Bermuda then you will most likely be able to rent a golf cart from the resort. This is a very fun option, and depending on which resort that you are staying in you might even be able to get to the beach with your golf cart! However, this fun comes with a considerable expense. When I was in Bermuda last year our (4 person) golf cart was approximately $100 per day to rent.

  Speaking of high costs, almost all of the food in Bermuda has to be either shipped or flown in, so it’s very expensive. For example, a gallon of milk is about $10! However, if you go to Bermuda you are probably only staying a week or so you probably don’t need to buy an entire gallon of milk, anyway!

  Bermuda has absolutely beautiful beaches with pink sand. Yes, that’s right – pink! No, they don’t dye it that way for aesthetics, it’s because red tiny organisms grow under the coral reefs in Bermuda and die on the ocean floor. They are then swept forward by the waves and land on the beach sand, making it pink.

  If you’re thinking of taking a trip to Bermuda you’re going to need some luggage. DealDash has some great luggage up for auction quite frequently, click this link here and you’ll be taken to DealDash to browse the luggage, toiletry travel bags, and more. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!
