After a season of visitors and a bit of driving about, we have compiled a few photos of out about in Barbados.
Starting on the east coast, the grounds of the St. John Anglican church offer a range of fantastic vistas.
The church graveyard, perhaps due to the view, is the eternal resting place of a number of prominent Bajans, and even former world leaders. Ferdinand Palaiologos, of the Byzantine Palaiologos ruling family, is buried here.
Nearby is Codrington College. The grounds here also offer a lovely view. For a reasonable fee, there are tour guides that can take you around and explain the rather sordid past of the college, incuding the slave-owning Codrington Family, who owned plantations all over the Caribbean, and whose money funded a library at Oxford.
After visiting Oistens Fish Fry once, and getting swamped by tourists and traffic, we decided to try a different location at the other end of the island. The Moon Town Fry is also very exciting and offers some classic views.
Thanks to our local friend, Philip the Palm guy, there are beautifal silhouettes of palm trees all over the island.
Pelican Village is another excellent location to bring visitors.
As I noted in a previous post, Speightstown is one of our favourite sailing launch points. It is also a historic village with lots of centuries-old buildings.
Speightstown has a lovely waterfront and breakwater with a resident population of cats.
Speaking of cats, we had a cat-sized dog stay with us for a couple weeks. Lola, a chihuahua belonging to one of my colleagues came to visit.
