Barbados

Today, April 14, we docked at Bridgetown, Barbados.  Barbados is now an independent country, but it was an English colony, so the language is English.  It has beautiful beaches, perfect weather, and is a very pleasant island to visit.  We toured the island in the back of a 4-wheel drive Toyota truck seated out like a Land Rover.  

The tourist beaches are all on the West (leeward) side of the island where the water is calm and the sand is perfect.  All the big resorts and the big homes are on this side.  Rihanna, who comes from Barbados, has a large new condo on the beach.  We visited the rocky beaches on the East side of the island which are much more picturesque although not so good for swimming.











We also toured off-road in the jungle.
