Barbados was one of the last Caribbean islands to be colonized. When the British arrived, there were no natives living on the island. There was evidence of previous human habitation, but it's thought that these remains belonged to Arawaks forced to flee from St. Lucia by marauding Caribs. They didn't stay, or last, long. Now, Barbados is considered the most British of the Caribbean islands. Cricket is the national pastime and tea is still an afternoon ritual, but Barbadians, known as Bajans, are more laid back than their English cousins. Maybe it's the rum. Barbados is a beautiful island of postcard-perfect beaches, cane fields, and rugged coastline.
We have back-loaded the cruise with days at the beach, and Barbados has some of the finest sand around. We spent the day in the sun, at the Harbor Lights Beach Facility on Carlisle Bay, a fat crescent of white sand and one of the island's best beaches.
Well that was a brilliant idea to "back load" the cruise with beach days. That looks like the best beach ever! Glad Tres got his hat back, looks like he needs it now more than ever. ;)
