My name is Mrs. Gwen South and I have just visited your unique island with my grand-daughter Andrea. We are both from South Australia and spent eight wonderful days in beautiful Bermuda visiting my aunt Anne Jackson of Pembroke.

I hadn't seen her for well over 50 years and we had a marvellous, happy reunion.

Bermuda is absolutely breathtaking, not just for the scenery and weather, but also the locals and tourists alike. We found them to be very friendly and accommodating.

Anne took us just about all over your lush island. We visited and met many of her friends and also enjoyed shopping in the unhurried atmosphere. The restaurants and cuisines were most enjoyable also, helping to make our holiday memorable.

We stayed at the "Rosedon'' and we would highly recommend it to anyone as one of the best hotels in town. Full compliments to their very friendly and efficient staff, truly a "home away from home''. I myself especially liked the beautifully decorated rooms in traditional English and island flair.

In closing, Andrea and I would like to take this opportunity to wish all Bermudians a Merry Christmas and a safe journey into the Year 2000. Also big hugs and kisses to our favourite aunt! GWEN SOUTH Yorketown, South Australia
