| | |  Bermuda Beaches
 Bermuda is a beautiful and amazing place, an ideal getaway spot for your vacations. Notorious for being an outlining point of the mysteriously paranormal Bermuda Triangle, this location is packed with all kinds of beach vacation activities that might also seem out of the ordinary. A lazy day on pink-sand beaches, or an adrenaline rush-filled surfing on some great waves, there is something for everyone.
The beaches of Bermuda are just wonderful. The sand is ground up coral and limestone, and it has a pinkish tinge to it. The water is all lovely and clear, and warm because Bermuda is in the Gulf Stream.
Many activities are available, suiting everyone's tastes, be it just relaxing or exciting. Also, there are some little cove areas which are somewhat mysterious, and the sunset looks amazing from the beaches!
So if beaches are your thing, then Bermuda is the place to go! | |

Addison wasn't sure how he had wound up agreeing with Fina for a vacation away during the holidays. Usually his family home was his destination of choice. But the mention of the Bermuda Triangle had caught his attention...and his curiousity. So it was for this he had picked up the portkey from TerrorTours travel agency where Fina had gotten everything planned and apparated to Hogsmeade to meet up with his companion there. From there they had portkeyed at the planned time from the blustery winters of Scotland...
...To the sunny warmth of the islands.
He let go of the portkey and prepared to land properly at there destination and they were greeted by a ground covered in sand instead of snow. His bag slung over his shoulder, the cursebreaker relaxed and paused to regain his balance, slowly looking around for a certain arithmacy professor.

His bag slung over his shoulder, the cursebreaker relaxed and paused to regain his balance, slowly looking around for a certain arithmacy professor. However she got Addison to agree to vacation with her to Bermuda she wasn't entirely sure, but when he agreed, she couldn't help but feel mildly pleased that he had. The superstitions around the triangle seemed intriguing, yes, but mostly Josephina found herself interested in the prospect of soaking up the rays with students being miles away.
And even more appealing was a way to relax from the stresses and pressures that came from teaching youngsters.
Meeting up with Addison in Hogsmeade, she grabbed hold of the portkey that had been arranged for them on behalf of that Travel Agency, as all thoughts of whiny, needy children and chilly, wintery Scotland air, whirled away from her. As her stomach turned upside down, she suddenly wished she were a better flyer to be able to manage intercontinental flight rather than the stomach-turning portkey, to which had landed her on her bottom. Closing her eyes, she rolled onto her hands and prayed to Merlin she wouldn't vomit, as she drew deep breaths to regain her composure. At least the warm air was comforting on her system.

Sun...sand...nice warm weather. There certainly other advantages to this vacation thing other the mystery of the unknown. Wait, did he just say that? Not that Addison didn't spend time in the more pleasant weather when he worked. When one wasn't thirty feet beneath the earth's surface. Which he wasn't; he was on vacation with one Josephina Hadley, wherever she was.
"Merlin..." he mused quietly as he spotted the woman he was looking for on her hands and knees not looking to well, the man moving towards her concerned. "Easy there...Are you alright?" he asked setting his bag down on the sand and kneeling down on one leg to he wasn't standing over her .
Someone really didn't enjoy traveling by portkey.

Deep breath. Her system was already calming down some, as she saw the shadow of a figure over her... kneeling... squinting up at the figure she forced a smile up at Addison and nodded slowly, biting her lower lip. "I think so... I've never traveled this far by portkey." Oddly enough, she found apparition easier to stomach, but for some reason Terrortours insisted they go via Portkey.
"A walk should help... how are you?" She reached toward him in effort to help her stand. "Guess you didn't have the adverse side effects I experienced. I'm sorry." Yes, Josephina Hadley DID just apologize for something she had no control over.

Yes, Josephina Hadley DID just apologize for something she had no control over. Addison nodded, giving a look of understanding towards the woman. Travelling long distances by any magical means had issues that came with it, she was just feeling the effects of the portkey's. Perhaps it would be wise for the travel agency to think over its prefered method of travel.
He offered her both hands as she reached for him, the cursebreaker moving to help Fina gradually back up to her feet. "Well not as much..." He had after all still felt off when he himself had landed, that was truth, he just recovered quicker. "And theres nothing to be sorry for. " What? did he look like a uncaring, stubborn man?
"We'll just move whenever you ready."

"We'll just move whenever you ready." Josephina was grateful, however, that Addison had accepted her hands and took another deep breath as she stood upright. "I'm good now," she nodded slowly, holding onto his arm, as her hazel eyes wandered around the beach.
Was that ... water?! It was ... so crystal clear! Taking a step closer toward the waters, she swallowed. "So ... that... we can swim in it?" Because she totally wanted to. Nevermind the fact that she just had a stomach-turning travel experience. That was in the past.

Addison echoed her nod as she assured him she was fine now, the man offering a soft smile of his own as she held onto his arm. The cursebreaker moving with her as they slowly walked a few steps down the beach. The ocean seeming to have caught the professor's attention now that she had settled.
"I think so," he remarked following Fina's gaze towards the beautiful water. "Would seem like an awful waste if it wasn't allowed." It certainly seemed safer to swim in then some of the waters in Britain that people did. "The travel agency didn't mention any restrictions or dangers other then...the whole Bermuda issue did they?"

He was so patient and kind; often made Josephina wander why he wasn't the Hufflepuff. But then she reminded herself that he probably wasn't always like this. He grew into it? He was more centered on his studies than she was during their school days.
She smiled when he seemed interested in swimming. "I don't think so. Only thing was something of superstitions, but I don't really believe in those, soooo...." It was safe? Waters were safe? And she wanted to in. Now.
Releasing his arm, she looked up at him, mischievous glint in her eye. "Last one in their suit and water is a rotten number." Not waiting for him to agree [or disagree] she disappeared off inside the ladies changing room . . .

Releasing his arm, she looked up at him, mischievous glint in her eye. "Last one in their suit and water is a rotten number." Not waiting for him to agree [or disagree] she disappeared off inside the ladies changing room . . . Right...so they would have been warned about anything that could cause harm within the waters. Then the logical conclusion Addison came to as Fina's words trailed off was that not only were they safe to go in but that they were allowed.
He almost hadn't noticed at first she had let go of his arm but he looked up at her curiously when he did. An eyebrow was raised as the former Ravenclaw briefly stood mulling over the meaning of the look only for it to be clarified in her words. It didn't take long for Addison to react to the playful mention,moving to the men's changing area just a step or two behind. They were there to have fun after all.
The challenge was on. Addison coming back out several minutes later.

The challenge was on. Addison coming back out several minutes later. A moment or two later, Josephina was suited up, with a black coverup. She saw him coming out of the changing area at nearly the same time as her. Shooting him a playful expression, she turned away and ran toward the water, pulling off her coverup as she did.
She can win this. She may have been shorter than him, but that meant she was lighter and speedier, right? Except that he had the longer legs and thus longer stride.

She can win this. She may have been shorter than him, but that meant she was lighter and speedier, right? Except that he had the longer legs and thus longer stride. He had paused on his exit from the changing rooms rather then simply race on towards the crystal-clear water and perhaps that was his downfall. It was then that Addison noticed his companion come out as well, catching her playful look sent his way. Her discarded cover-up being caught by the wind and blown his way.
"Sneaky Hadley...real smooth" he mused with a shake of his head. The cursebreaker sprinting off towards the sea and the mild waves were soon lapping at his calves. Almost tempted to pull her in with him.
