Beaches

Well, all the beaches I've been to have been pretty incredible as the photos suggest.

For those interested in some geology and biology, only Bermuda and parts of Scotland have pink sand beaches (apparently). This is because the skeleton of a tiny organism known as the red foram helps form the grains of sand on the beaches (I clearly plagiarised this information).

And the water is turquoise in colour because of low levels of phytoplankton. So there you are, file those two pearls away for later useā€¦
