Some people think Bermuda is part of the Caribbean. Well folks Bermuda is North of the Caribbean islands, and is located less than 600 miles off the coast of Cape Hatteresas, North Carolina. Bermuda is a string of islands connected by bridges, and is at is widest point 2 miles and is 36 miles long. She is an internal self governing British Crown Colony, however her legal tender is not the British Pound but the US Dollar. Her first capital was St. George, named after King George III,however the city of Hamilton has been Bermuda's capital for many years. In Bermuda no Easter is complete without Cross Buns. We found this delightful recipe in "The Bermuda Cookbook" by Cecile C. Snaith-Simmons, which was given to us in 1989 by our friend Annie Y. who lives in Bermuda.
