BERMUDA



1.) The Island of Bermuda was formed on top of a volcano! One elderly Bermudian told me that we should pray every night that God will keep the lid on it!



2.) The Pink Sand that Bermuda is famous for is actually crushed sea shells!



3.) After bananas are taken from the tree the tree dies. There is only one harvest per tree following which a new tree will grow at the base of the old one.



4.) The Island of Bermuda is only 21 miles long and less than two miles wide.



5.) The top speed limit on the Island is 25 mph. Do cars travel faster – YES!



6.) The only wild animals in Bermuda are chickens! Actually the chickens came from abandoned farms.



7.) Our Church, St Andrews Presbyterian is known locally as “The Pink Church.” Why is it pink? The standard reply is; “We don’t know why other than it has always been pink.”



8.) Our drinking water, bath water, cooking water, shower water etc. etc. all comes from the rain. The rain is collected in cisterns located under each house. The cistern here at the manse is over 15,000 gallons.



9.) Every night once the weather warms up you can hear thousands of frogs singing! They are known as tree frogs and are about the size of your little finger nail.



10.) There are no Golden Arches in Bermuda. The government does not allow fast food franchises. KFC got in before the ban was fully in place.



11.) Bermudians are only allowed one car per household.
