Sugar Cane Club Barbados

... people gyrated (I suppose it was dancing?) in colourful costumes &#8211; or rather accessories! All to celebrate the end of the sugar cane harvest and the success of the rum production!<br><br>On one day we hired a car and explored the island &#8211; marvelling at the ferocious seas of the Atlantic at Animal Flower caves and Bathsheba compared to our gently lapping, clear, warm, blue waters on the west coast ...

... 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.. :(

... the church that dated almost five hundred years ago. It was kind of creepy walking all around them, but this is what made the whole place intriguing and captivating. <br><br>We stopped for while along the ocean to admire big huge boulders right on the shore. It was absolutey beautiful seeing them. <br><br>Our next stop was at the Highland Adventure Center where we sipped a complimentary soft drink. It was relaxing and we enjoyed the view once ...

... 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 ...

After clearing customs and immigration, we paid for our night at the marina fuel wharf and cast off our lines ready for our voyage across the North Atlantic, our destination, Barbados. Our first day out was very calm and we enjoyed a sunny day with flat seas. We lost sight of land before nightfall and settled into our night watch routine. We decided that Matt was the biggest night owl, so he could have first watch from 8pm until 11pm, then Tom would take over after a few hours sleep and go ...

... This place is an amazing oasis of greenery in the middle of suburbia where you might be convinced you were hundreds of miles from the city. There has been real forethought in creating this reserve of original bushland. We then took the No. 11 bus into Bridgetown to visit the Pelican Craft Centre. Unfortunately being Sunday most of the stalls were closed but a few interesting souvenirs were bought. It was then back to the Resort for a quiet night of packing and trying to ...

... lovers and duels and of cows jumping over cliffs and goats that butt you in your butt. Oh we had great fun Sarah as it turns out is the owner of the company and her family has been on the Island many years in fact her family was given land my King James for fighting in a battle on behalf of England. Her great grandfather was the first photographer on the Island and she has great stories to tell. Aside from the great entertainment the tour offered ...

... the island that didn't exactly qualify as an adventure but we had a good time anyways. The "adventure" came later that week when we hopped a local bus and made our way to Bridgetown for some souvenir shopping. Evelyn and I made the mistake of hitting the stop button a little too early and the bus driver let us off in what looked like the slums. There were many deserted buildings and as we ...
