BERMUDA is famous for its pink sand beaches, turquoise oceans and of course that Triangle, where countless souls have supposed to have disappeared.
Bermuda is thought by scholars to be the island in
Shakespeare’s The Tempest about a group of noblemen brought to a magical island
by a violent storm. And indeed the tiny 21 mile island was discovered by a shipwreck.
St George’s is one of the earliest English
settlements in the New World where British sailors were shipwrecked in 1609 while travelling to
Jamestown, Virginia. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site there is twisting alleyways
leading to quaint shops and cottages and many Anglican chapels including the
lovely St Peter’s Church and Their Majesties Chappell. The magnificent Gothic Unfinished
Church was meant to replace St Peter’s in 1970 but the project was abandoned.
Now the mysterious building, open to the elements and nature, is a popular
wedding spot.
Throughout the island one finds hundreds of churches which wouldn't look out of place in English villages and towns.
