Barbados
(Click on thumbnail for full sized image)
Unlike most of the other islands we visited, Barbados is
relatively flat with most of it covered by acres of impenetrable
sugarcane. As this was to be our last port of call before returning
to San Juan, we spent the morning doing some shopping to fill out our souvenir
list. Here we discovered Calypso Rum Cake. Hmmm. This stuff is
to die for.
The highlight of our tour in Barbados was Harrison's
Caves. The drive to the caves took us past Warren's Great House and the
Sharon Moravian Church which dates back to the 1700's. Once at the caves,
we descended in electrically powered trams. Although not as colorful as
some other caves we have visited (Luray Caverns in Virginia and the
Tropfsteinhoehle in Germany) they did present some interesting formations.

Aboard the Jolly Roger
We didn't make this trip but our dinner companions John and
Gill, Bruce and Suzi, Dave and Mary did. Here are some shots aboard (or
more correctly overboard) taken by Bruce and Suzi.

That's Bruce in the first shot, John in the second and Suzi in
the last. Gill, Dave and Mary were apparently too busy getting punch
refills.
