4th day in Barbados: Andromeda Garden, Bath Beach, some cave, beautiful beach in the south, Oistins

Hello everyone,

today we visited a beautiful botanical garden called Andromeda Garden. If you're looking for a recommendation, we definitely suggest this place. The garden is stunning and meticulously designed, and the staff is very friendly and helpful from the moment you arrive. It's not a tourist hotspot, but rather a peaceful and lovely location. The garden was created by Iris Bannochie (1914-1988) in the 1950s and features over 400 different plant species. Even today, the garden is well-maintained and cared for. The plants come from all over the world and were collected by Iris from various countries. We had a great time there, especially because we could understand everything with the help of an app that provided information about the plants in German. So, in our opinion, it's a hidden gem among the many gardens on the island.

After enjoying the beautiful morning in the garden, we continued driving along the east coast and made a stop at Bath Beach. It was recommended to us, but it wasn't really that great. The east coast is simply not suitable for swimming, as the Atlantic Ocean is quite rough. The only interesting experience we had there was encountering a local who insisted that we should visit a cave nearby. Of course, we decided to check it out, and it turned out to be a little thrilling adventure. It was partially pitch black and the water and waves came dangerously close to us... However, the view made up for it, and in the end, we were proud of ourselves for sticking it out until the end.

But we eventually headed to the south for a swim, as the south and west are much better for swimming. We went to Miami Beach and enjoyed the evening there.

In conclusion, another very enjoyable day.

Take care,

Love,

Vanessa and Katharina
