Things take time in Barbados, and one thing is for sure: You must not trust
those dates they say they will be finished.
Just look at what happend to Hilton, Sandy Lane, or the sewage project on
the south coast. LONG delays, and a lot of upset guests.
Bajans need to be better keeping what they promise.
Other than that, they are a nice kind of people.
