Well, Barbados has not changed much for the last few years. Some few new
hotels, and lots of rebuilding of existing hotels, a good upgrade of
St.Lawrence Gap on the south coast, a little more development of Sunset
Crest (where your hotel will be). I have recived information that
construction at Almond Beach Village is over by the way.
Exept for those things, there is not much to tell of new things.
Must sees? I dunno what to say. It all depend on what kind of things you
like.
The things I like the best, is not the things normal tourists do at all. But
let me give you some things that all kind of people like:
Oistins fish market is always a sucess. Friday night is the most lively.
Lots of people, local as well as tourists. There is buses going straight
from your hotel to Oistins every half an hour. Probably about fifteen to
and fifteen after.
Lots of people, lots of music, lots of good fish.
Catamaran cruises is a classic. I love those trips. If you have not been on
them, take a ride. It is nice!
East coast, Batsheba, but dont forget to pass up by Cherry tree hill.
It is a very good place to go for the most spectacular sceneries Barbados
has to offer. It is not far from Barbados Wildlife Reserve. But if you get
to BWR you have come to far, and need to turn around and drive back for 2
minutes and take the road that goes to the right, and just follow that road
for some few minutes.
I think Harrisons Caves also is a must.
I went to Baxters Road one night in december, and that was actually quite
fun. But trust me, that is those things that _I_ think is fun, and no one
else. That is why I have never seen any other tourists there ever... Baxters
Road used to be a very popular place to go, and things were going on to the
early hours. It was called the street that never sleeps. I have been there
to sunrise some few times.
But times has changed, and it is not so busy anymore. And not recommended
unless you want to do something completely completely different.
Go ahead and ask, if there is anything I can do to help, I am here as usual.
