Made significantly cooler by the Beach Boys in 1988, Bermuda is an island roughly 600 miles east of North Carolina.  Though referred to as one mass, Bermuda is actually 138 separate islands connected by bridges.  Though considered a Caribbean island, as it is so far north, the best time to visit Bermuda is between spring and fall (temperatures reach 70 in April and stay there through December).
    A great time to go is during the Cricket Cup Match, which takes place the Thursday and Friday before the first Monday in August.  Since 1901, Somerset has played St. George, and almost all businesses shut down for the celebratory 4-day weekend.
    Before WWII, cars were banned from the island, and today only residents are able to own cars.  This means that there are great bike routes.  Tripology can arrange for your discounted group rentals as well as tour guides for your cruise around the islands.
    St. George is the old capital of Bermuda and a current UNESCO Heritage site.  Take a walk along the old cobblestone streets to the various fountains,  public squares, and gardens.  Another bit of antiquity on the island is the Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, one of the world’s oldest cast-iron structures.  From the top, your travel group can enjoy afternoon tea while taking in breathtaking views of the island and surrounding sea.  And of course, no Bermuda trip would be complete without golf.  Let Tripology set up your group’s tee-time at any of the myriad courses along the islands.
    If you catch a rainy day, take a trip to the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum, and Zoo.  The museum is built around a 140,000 gallon coral replica, and is one of the country’s main tourist destinations.
    Hopefully, though, there will be no rain.  Try these pink sand beaches:  Horseshoe Bay Beach, the most popular on the island and great for snorkeling, Tobacco Bay, which is shallow and warm, but often overwroght with cruises, or Elbow Beach, another snorkeling haven.
    There are many local foods and drinks that you should try while on the island:  cassava pie, bay grape jelly, wahoo fish, rum swizzles, and of course, the dark and stormy.
