A few purchases are unique to Bermuda. Many stores sells gold
or silver charms of Bermuda's longtailed tropic birds, which are
often seen in pairs flying near the sea cliffs. Another favorite lo-
cal item is Bermuda's famous black rum, used to make rum
cakes as well as the island's favorite drink: Dark and Stormy.
