... to Rhonda and her advice, we also visited St Nicholas Abbey, which was lovely&#8230;..and in the evening treated ourselves to dinner at The FishPot (excellent) after lunch at Nanika (no wonder we piled on the pounds this holiday)!<br><br>All in all, a most relaxing and enjoyable end to our Caribbean adventure&#8230;..the R&amp;R necessary to ensure a calm approach to our 44 hour journey back here to Surabaya!

... going to Cuba and making a raft - anything to just get onto American soil. People were fighting to get whatever ticket they could. I was trying to avoid doing that but left it a little too late. So if I was going to be buying a ticket to get anywhere next week I may as well go to Canada, as that part of my itinerary is set whereas nothing was booked for the US. The nice guy at the AC desk ...

This is my third day trying to get out of the island on standby. I was 38/47 on the list earlier. So many families of staff members using their tickets for holiday.. It's insanity. It seems to be impossible to get out of the Caribbean right now! Hopefully I'll figure out something soon, otherwise I may have to cancel parts of my itinerary.. :(

... we continued on our way. We drove what we assumed was north, through the fairly quiet north-eastern parish of St. Andrew. We drove up to a roundabout just outside of the parish church called "Edgehenge" with Stonehenge-like construction on it, and knew we had to pull over.

[and my best ...

Dear Blog,<br><br>As much as I enjoyed this morning's excursion, this afternoon, I am off to a coast to coast scenic drive of Barbados. I opted for this excursion because I wanted to take in as much as possible of the island's highlights.<br><br>After we boarded our air-conditioned mini bus, off we went through the center of Bridgetown. We saw sights such as Heroes Square and the Houses of Parliament. We then drove by the Lion at Gun Hill Signal ...

... arrived in Barbados this morning at 7:00am under a warm blue sunny sky. A new day, a new adventure. Today promises to be quite exciting since we will be swimming with sea turtles and tropical fishes. Lets hope they show up!<br><br>As we disembarked the ship around 8:00am , we met with our tour guide and followed him to another pier to board a really nice sleek, power boat for a high-speed ride to Turtle Bay ...

... rhum punch was the accepted cure for alcoholism on Barbados! The Rhum shop did have an interesting menu and one of the boys ordered a huge lunch that looked amazingly good! I was really tempted...but the old mantra...NEVER EAT THE LOCAL....kept me hungry. They also have the national dish, flying fish sandwiches that are supposed to be delicious...I was tempted to have one at the pier but decided against it. I can wait for a TOPS Halibut Burger with ...

... world were they out there floating on inflatable tubes while in full snorkeling gear? Go figure. But it was quite an amusing sight. Michael later explained that they wanted to ensure that any passing boats would see them in the water. I knew that was a ************, but I let him stick to his story anyway. Before I knew it, Arlette was done with her massage and it was my turn. With the sound of the ocean waves gently brushing against the rocks ...

... in barbados) you are immediately drawn to those who are in a similar place. although i do resist isolating myself from caribbean people and have made many friends who aren't from america, my closest friends so far have been from the states. at first, this bothered me a lot, as the whole point of this trip, or any abroad experience, is to (or so i thought) meet people who AREN'T like you and ARE different. now, however, i've come to realize that my abroad experince is less ...
