Flatts Village is located about 1/3 of
the way between St. George and Hamilton(A 1,3,10 or 11 bus will get
you there from St. George). It's a cute little place, although
there's not a whole lot there. The main attraction is the
Bermuda Aquarium. It's actually sort of an aquarium/zoo.
This year it seemed a bit more impressive than in
the past, so either my memory is going, or they're making
it better. In any case, it's a good place to become
acquainted with the local sea life.
Also near Flatts are
some must see spots. These include...
The Swizzle Inn:
Apparently this is considered to be
in Bailey's Bay, but it's pretty close to Flatts. In any case,
it's a pretty good spot. They're famous for their pitchers of
Rum Swizzle's. And they're slogan of course is "Swizzle
Inn, swagger
out."
Crystal
Caves:
Just around the corner from the
Swizzle Inn is the Crystal Caves. It's about 200 ft long walk
through a cave mostly filed with water. There are some interesting
formations, but not all that impressive, to be
honest.
Perfumery and Glass
Blowing:
These two are also right near the
Swizzle Inn, just down the street. I haven't been to either,
but they seem pretty popular. Worth a visit if you're in the
area,
anyway.
