Barbados

Barbados is gorgeous.  The beaches are stunning (still think Cuba is better though) and the life there is quite interesting.  We arrived just as their carnival was starting so all the tents and display areas were being set up.  We did a quick tour of the island seeing where Rhianna grew up, Tiger Woods got married and so on.  I am not a star gazer in that sense, I would rather see life in Barbados but our taxi driver wanted to show us the best. 

We also visited Harrison Caves, and I must advise to put this on your bucket list.  This place is a marvel beyond belief and to describe it to you would be no where close to experiencing its beauty.  This was the 2nd place that I took oodles of picture because I wanted to remember it just how it was.  Darryl had gone in 1984 and they have updated it quite a bit since then. 

As we were leaving the caves we also got a small visitor.

He was almost close enough to touch.  But yeah we didn't even try.

Then it was time to hit the beach.  And the white sand and turquoise water was nice and refreshing.  We all played in the water, and watched a lady pull a star fish up for everyone to see. 

 

Later that night the kids went to the Ocean Adventure Club to play with some kids their own age and we were treated to a pirate show just before the comedy act that was going on that night.  We all had a good laugh at the display of fun and then we went to sit under the stars and enjoy the night.
