Bermuda has been given a glowing review in an eight-page cover story in Delta Air Line's Sky magazine.

Reporter Mary Alice Kellogg, a frequent visitor to the Island over the last 30 years, raves that Bermuda "continues to cast a spell" in her article entitled `All Things British'.

"When I want to experience all things British - without the jet lag and especially without the dreary weather - I go to Bermuda," she wrote in the October edition of the in-flight magazine.

"I've been a loyal visitor for decades, and the world's oldest British dependant territory continues to cast a spell.

"With each visit, my fondness for Bermuda's own brand of Britishness has increased, as has my delight that the 20-mile-per-hour speed limit, religious observance of afternoon tea and sartorial strictness in the matter of shorts remain unchanged.

"I toast the gracious spirit of place with a Dark'n'Stormy, and dress for dinner. One dresses for dinner in Bermuda, of course. It is a place for grown-ups, where the pace is gracious and the welcome warm."

She salutes the scarcity of big sports utility vehicles, the fact that no buildings are higher than the Anglican Cathedral, and congratulates the Island for shunning fast food restaurants.

Ms Kellogg says the standard of food on the Island has improved, and lists Fourways Inn as one of her top restaurants. The Lobster Pot is best for local seafood, in her opinion, and the Seahorse Grill at Elbow Beach Hotel gets high praise for its shark hash.

She rates The Reefs as most romantic cottage colony, with the best sunset view on the Island.

"It is often said that there is no little place as big as this island, and truer words were never spoken.

"Raise a Dark'n'Stormy high to the happy fact that there will always be a Bermuda."
