St. George

Our Monday morning ladies' walking group recently hiked around St. George which is located on the eastern end of Bermuda. The Town of St. George is the oldest settlement (1612) on the island, and was once the seat of government. We walked from the center of St. George, out past the Cut Road where the cruise ships come in, and back to the center of town again in a little over an hour. Great ocean views of that amazingly turquoise crystalline water.

On other days when exercise is not paramount, it's fun to explore the many cobblestone alleyways (such as Petticoat Lane, Old Maid's Lane, Shinebone Alley, Featherbed Alley, Needles and Pins Lane), tiny limestone houses, the Unfinished Church, St. Peter's Church with its ancient cemetary, Fort St. Catherine, the Globe Hotel, the Tucker family home, and the old warehouses. Once all that has been accomplished, it's time for lunch, and Cafe Gio is by far the best restaurant in town, in our humble opinion.
