Where are the Moongates?

[Laurie12820]

We are cruising to Bermuda for our honeymoon and want to visit one of these. Where can I find one?

i could be mistaken but are the moongates those horseshoe shaped things that couples stand under for good luck? if so...there is one at the REEFS HOTEL where there just so happens to be one of the most romantic restaurants on the island COCONUTS. try to make reservations there.

I believe we found one near the perfume factory. They are all over the place if you just look. Yes, they are the round cement or block type things you stand at for good luck.

Look about half way down the page at http://www.bermuda-online.org/traditions.htm for some info on Moongates. Quite a number of private houses have Moongates (originally they were gates into enclosed gardens). Almost all hotels will have one somewhere on the property; they are traditionally made of Bermuda limestone.

Yes, you won't need to search hard or search in any specific place, they are in lot's of places.

There was one at the park in Hamilton, to the left of the docks (looking from the ship). I forget the name of the park, it was French sounding. It was behind the post office...

It’s called Par-la-Ville Park, and it apparently houses Bermuda’s oldest moongate. http://www.bermuda4u.com/Attractions/bermuda_attractions_par_la_ville_park.html

There must be lots of luck going around Bermuda with all those things. I wonder if they really work.;)
