Mr. Tucker

I think in Bermuda it's more an attitude that you brought this on yourself so deal with it. They were the coldest people I've ever met about disabilities.

 

This is completely the opposite of my experience during at least 15 visits to Bermuda over the past 10 years. I have seen the local bus drivers and other passengers (both local and tourists) on many occasions go out of their way to assist people where they possibly could. True they don't have the proper facillities but they seemed to compensate for that with personal assistance.

I don't think one or two experiences warrants labeling the people of Bermuda in this manner. Our positive attitudes always seem to bring very positive results unfortunately in this society the converse is also true.

Having just returned from the beautiful island of Bermuda I wanted to warn those who have mobility issues that our travels with both a wheelchair user and a cane dependant person were not without problems.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This really shouldn't come as a surprise to any of us.

The entire Caribbean is this way as is most of the rest of the world. The US and Canada are the leaders in providing handicap access.

Most of these places lack the necessary funds to provide the proper facillities.
