Bermuda High

摘要

Let's get the cons out of the way: Bermuda is chilly in the winter. Its narrow, quaint streets clog up at rush hour. The sight of Hamilton's glass-and-steel business district inspires more thoughts of tax breaks than rum swizzles. And yet this British territory 650 miles off the coast of North Carolina exudes a refined air not found in more convincingly tropical destinations to the south. Though the tourism ministry has begun promoting an increasingly relaxed Bermuda (a one-man calypso band plays a jaunty welcome at passport control), the island retains its formal charm.
