BERMUDA'S ADMIRALTY HOUSE HIDDEN TUNNELS at SPANISH POINT & CRYSTAL CAVES

Welcome to Bermuda, the land of historic turquoise waters, white sand beaches, cathedrals, caves, underwater caverns, and the Bermuda Triangle platter at “Wahoos” restaurant.
We rented a car (if you can call it that), and went to explore
Spanish Point,
Admiralty House Park and Tunnels
And Crystal Caves
The grand finale? A boat dragging anchor.

Spanish Point was evidently named after the Spanish ship that first explored the reefs.
Admiralty House Tunnels were dug by a captain that reach from the cove to the house. The large circular room was just for fun at parties.

Crystal Caves were discovered In 1907 by Carl Gibbon and Edgar Hollis while playing cricket.  When the ball disappeared into a hole the boys went to retrieve it. But the hole kept getting deeper and deeper. They had discovered was the entrance to the natural wonder of these underground caverns. Owned by Wilkonson family since 1884, they set up a research trip to find out how deep it went. A 14 year old was lowered into the hole by his father using a strong rope tied to a tree 140 feet down. With just a bicycle lamp, he witnessed the magnificent splendor of the crystal formations around a lake 55 ft deep. Even Mark Twain visited - twice - and described the shining stalactites, thousands and thousands of them as white as sugar, and thousands and thousands brown and pink and other tints.
The caves were also used in the film Neptune’s Daughter.

Meanwhile in St. George's Harbor, we got to wait out a 24-hour 45-knot wind storm in the anchorage that had everyone on alert, while we watched a boat drag anchor and hit another boat. Evidently the captain had gone ashore to check in.

We have a rule - we don’t leave the boat in bad weather. No exceptions.
