31st January
2013.
Overnighted in choppy
seas from Antigua to Bridgetown, the capital of the island of Barbados. It was
a bright sunny day and about 28 degrees.
The island of Barbados
is the eastern most island in the Caribbean group. It is a fairly flat island,
with a dry climate and a population of 285,000 people. Bridgeport is a very
busy and large township dating back to the old colonial days. The island is
another tourist mecca with another four cruise ships in port.
We spent most of the
day checking out Bridgeport as we missed seeing the area during our 2010 World
Cruise. The local people are extremely friendly and we had a very easy day
having a local coffee , {no Starbucks} at the old marina boardwalk and walking
around the streets and the foreshores of the township. The place was reasonably
clean and maintained and a cut well above Antigua. We enjoyed the day, but it
is a probably been there, done that situation.
Tomorrow we overnight
to our last port of call in the Caribbean,Trinidad & Tobago. This is our
first visit to island and we are looking forward to an organised land excursion
of the island.
