A change of scenery.

I only know you through your posts, but Bermuda does seems rather .. not “you”! However, it is a lovely, friendly island (I went once – for my honeymoon – but would say it’s not inherently “me” either), and I’m glad you are enjoying it as a diversion from your usual travel mode.

Indeed, of all places Bermuda – and, perhaps, a Maldivian resort – is where I’d feel the least into my element. However, enjoyed it, you can’t always be sleeping on benches or somebody’s sofa! Plus, it’s really a pretty island.

I couldn’t help but laugh at your adventure out of your comfort zone. The espresso machine in the hotel room would have provoked exclamations of delight from me as well. I’ve ventured into the murky lands dominated by mainstream tourism a couple of times. It can certainly be interesting, as you have described. I was pleasantly surprised by the tranquil French side of St. Martin, for example.

Well, it was a far cry from my usual stomping ground – even when I used to go out for work, normally we’d end up in those hotels that offer beautiful views of parking lots, industrial estates or airport hangars and runways. I really enjoyed Bermuda, it might be a tourism hotspot but it also has some nice local touches. I’ll be back.

Is it some sort of North American Mallorca?

Probably. It’s time share/cruise ship hell on the Dutch side.

“Sometimes it’s good to venture outside one’s comfort zone, trying out something new and unusual, something that one would by default be drawn to dismiss as not in line with his expectations, or taste.”
They say that one lives each day by beginning anew, so one would be best served by trying a new thing each day ?

If possible, it’d be a very nice thing to do!
