Bermuda Digs





Boy! We really lucked out with our accommodations. Knowing how expensive food is in Bermuda, we requested a place with a kitchen. Kaneesha, really came through for us. Since it's the low season, she was able to get us a really cute apartment above a home, on Shelly Bay. We had water views on three sides, and an easy walk to the bus stop. We were able to cook,and make lunches for Hubby Doc to take to work. Saved us a bundle.
The grocery stores carry most things that we are used to seeing in the states. They are more expensive, but if you take the time to compare items, you can do OK.
The restaurants are faboo, but pricy, so it was nice to be able to eat out once in a while, and eat in as well.
If you work here, and don't have a kitchen, you could pick up a few cooking items at the local ACE Hardware and make do. A microwave ($150 to $175) and a coffee pot ($40) would pay off in the long run, and you could sell them before you leave.
Be sure to request at least, a room with a fridge and the bare necessities. Vista and the people at the Bermuda Hospital Board do try very hard to give you what you need.
Thanks Kanesha!
