St. George's is a quiet, charming town. It was first settled in 1609 and appointed the capital of Bermuda then. Additionally, it actually is the oldest continuously inhabited English town in the New World. There are military fortifications, like old cannons and such located on the harbor. There are lanes and alleys named Petticoat Lane and Shinbone Alley. The parish's downtown is King's Square, where town hall meetings are held and where Market Nights are celebrated.
The restaurants in this area are more expensive than ones in Hamilton and other more touristy parishes. One would expect it to be the opposite, huh? We only ate twice in St. George's because to dine out here sets you back at least $30USD per person!
an alley - walking down here reminded me a lot of Macau - the architecture, colorful buildings, lane...
