Ten Bermudas from around the world

Bermuda Blooms

Really Sun newspaper?? Britain is balmier than Bermuda? Not really hard to beat us in the heat. What about the humidity? Think we still beat Britain. For those who don’t know, Bermuda rarely goes above 90 degrees Maybe you should have picked….Bali?

Yeah well the Sun wasn’t alone. The UKPA (press association) also had something to say. Hey! Perhaps this is better tourism advertising than pink cabs???

Red Fort in New Delhi...ok not Chennai, but still India!

Going to India anytime soon? Worried you won’t be able to have your Bacardi and Coke? Fear no longer. The Bermuda-based family owned rum maker is opening a plant in Tamil Nadu, India! Yipee!!

Back to Europe and Bermuda debuted on the Paris runway. Well our shorts did at least. The designer Thom Browne covered them in Space Suit first and then let the golfing NASA crowd show their legs off! Well according to Huffington Post.

Paris is far behind….Canada! Calgary to be exact. A Calgary mayor candidate, Joe Connelly, wore them as he spoke to students at the area’s University! Go Bermuda shorts!!!

After trekking 2,000 miles to Bermuda and back newspapers along the East Coast of the United States are hailing their sailors – heroes. They took part in the Bermuda Race.

Of course Sail World also got involved and published some photos of the actual race winners! Featured at the Government house everyone’s smiles and suntans.

Now for something really exciting….Bridge. No not crossing the water…the card game. Apparently there is a Bridge Bermuda Bowl and just this week the USA team for it was chosen. I don’t know how I contain my excitement!

A little closer to home? Last week I had a friend visiting from New Jersey. It was great playing tourist with them and they loved the island (it only took her 12 years to visit me here:) Apparently the rest of New Jersey loves our home too.

And finally….a little news for those who are Bermuda-based (and, well, any Canadians seeking some winter sun) WestJet is going to be landing on 21-square-miles through the winter!! Yippeee. Discount Canadian prices all year round!
