We had our long day touring by our scooters and observing the geologic interests of Bermuda.
Starting from our site in St. George’s, which is located at the upper north east, all the way around to Jobson’s Cove to Chaplin Bay to Church Bay to the Royal Navy Dockyard, the other end in west side. We stopped by at certain beaches identifying some cool rocks. Most of the beaches in Bermuda are known for pink sand mainly due to its accumulation of living organisms like corals, clams, etc. I appreciated some vibrant colors of emerald ocean and pink sands, and picked some fragments for collection. Maybe I’m going to use some of them for later research. It was, indeed, some legitimate day for geology.
Although it could be cold during the gust, I still liked riding a fun-sized scooter. The road keeps me awake and engaged. It took about 25 miles to get to and back from the other endpoint. On our way to Royal Navy Dockyard, we drove across bunch of curves, left and right, and hills, up and down. It reminded me of San Francisco where I used to go and hang out before I come to Maine. I was comparing that with the largest city in Bermuda, and I realized, Hamilton is just a miniature of SF, except Hamilton is much more cozier.
Before I come down to Bermuda, people told me it is way off-season for visiting. Now that I’ve stayed here for a week, I am confident to say, “I don’t think so.” I have my two thumbs up for Bermuda in January. Looking at a well-maintained but not flourished Royal Navy Dockyard, it was quite obvious that barely any tourists come to the islands during the winter season. While I don’t disagree with the possible complaints about the cold air and water, and unstable weather, I genuinely believe January is one of the greatest time of the year exploring Bermuda’s endemic nature as well as cool architecture. It was so quiet that anywhere we go is virtually reserved just for us. How cool is that? If I were to have a second chance, it could be a cool idea to come here again during summer season just to make a comparison with busy seasons.
