Barbados

We have been a couple of weeks here now - mostly anchored in Carlisle Bay where Bridgetown is and have been thoroughly enjoying it here. We did not expect to want to stay long but it has been an enchanting island which has delayed our departure. We will however have to move on and should be arriving St. Lucia on Wednesday sometime.

I will try at get more stuff up about here but we caught a bus to Basthsheba on the east coast yesterday so here are some photos. The coastline is quite spectacular there though we were a bit disappointed that the waves were not bigger. The other bit was the local architecture as you can see below.

Getting around here is very easy with a good network of publically funded buses at B$2 for each trip (there are B$3 to a pound give or take). It would be very easy to spend a long time here and we have met someone who is a repeat visitor here.

We have also met some interesting other cruisers - notably Charlotte and Dan who built their own Jay Benford boat and are on an Atlantic circuit like us. I will put a link to their blog when I remember to bring the details with me!
