South Beach Resort Vacation Club Christ Church

... 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.. :(

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 ...

... conditioning. The first morning, we used the hotel's complimentary shuttle service to get to Bridgetown and spent all day just exploring the tiny town. We shopped at Cave Shepherd, Da Costa's Mall, Bridgetown Mall, Woolworths and Correia's jewellery store. On subsequent days, we also discovered side streets with little boutiques (Swan Street, Robuck Street and Tudor Street). For lunch, we ate Roti with lemonade at Chefette and ...

... getting them regularly. I found out that they had brownies that melt in you mouth. Now every night after dinner, Martina gives us a giant plate full of the delectable delights to take back to our cabin. It's dangerous. We end up nibbling on them every time we pass by on our way out the door. Trust me, 24 hour moist chocolatey brownies and soft chocolate chip cookies is NOT a good thing. Though I will admit they do lead to some sweet dreams. Today I am grateful for thoughtfulness.

... which is rare except at the university or in nice stores in bridgetown) don't have windows as we think of them; instead they have wooden windows with built in blinds that don't actually completely shut out the environment. the houses are colorful, and apparently bajans love pastel colors for their homes: almost every one i've seen is pink or green or light blue with yellow or lavender trim etc. etc. in case anybody didn't know, about 90% of people in barbados are of ...
