Bridgetown Hotels - Reviews and Rates

But to get on with the story! Got a grand total of 3 hours sleep
before heading off, always a good start to any travels! But by general
travel standards it wasn't too bad, the great advantage of being tired
is being able to sleep anywhere! Had a great snooze in London Gatwick
listening to Pendulum on... not an iPod... but my blinging...

Today our ship docked at Bridgetown, the capital of Barbados. We traveled to Carlisle Bay by taxi and spent the day there. The taxi fare was rather expensive and so was the price of lunch: it was $18 for a "cheese cutter," French fries, and a pineapple juice.

The official language of Barbados is English, often spoken with a distinct Car...

Here we are, finally anchored at Carlisle Bay in Bridgetown (Barbados) after 3 tries. But it was worth it. Around us, we were surrounded by crystal-clear and turquoise waters. Arriving on the beach, we've never felt sand so fine and white. Getting around town was very easy...there were 3 modes of transport: a bus, a ZR (privately-owned mini-vans...

Our final port of call and southern-most stop was in Bridgetown, Barbados. An independent Caribbean island nation, Barbados gained it's independence from Britain but still retains much of it's British charm. This island is best known for it's white sandy beaches, rums, and for being a playground for the wealthy especially along it's western coas...

I left Grenada at 6:05 am for my 4 hour journey to Dominica. On my way to the 'Nature Island' Dominica we made two stops. Firstly Barbados then St Lucia. I only stayed in Barbados for an hour so I had to remain in transit (couldn't leave the airport). The name of the airport is Grantley Adams International Airport, who happened to be the first P...

We had several days at sea before arriving here. We learned to use our internet, purchased a block of minutes, and kept in touch with the family. Daddy and Bob suggested we come back to Lynchburg, so we spent the evening before docking making flight arrangements to get home. The Regent folks were a great help. As soon as the ship was cleared, Re...

Now that we know the intricacies of catching the bus in Barbados, we decided to head back down to Barbados for some more sight seeing and shopping on this, our last full day here. So after breakfast, we began walking down the narrow road from our hotel, admiring the sandy beach that traces one side of the road, and the chattel houses that dot t...

It must be against the law to have hot water in the mornings in Barbados. Why? You ask. Because every morning since our arrival, we've had to take cold showers to start the day. But we're not complaining. The weather is hot and humid, so a cool shower is no big problem. Today, we went down to breakfast, and again relaxed as we watched the waves ...

i don't know if i can keep up with these super-long posts. maybe i'll try to start breaking up each post into a few separate ones: i think that last one took me about two hours! we'll see how this one goes... anyways, the rest of my week since my last post went very well. right after i posted, the grub line and hazing procedures became much more...
