Second day in Barbados: St. Nicholas Abbey, CherryTree Hill, Beach

Hello dear everyone,

Today, after having our cappuccino at the gas station again (this time it only took 13 minutes) and buying our cookies and fresh FRUIT, we started driving towards the northeast of the island.

Our destination today was St. Nicholas Abbey, a beautifully restored and really cute place. St. Nicholas Abbey is an old mansion of a sugar plantation. Colonel Benjamin Berringer built it between 1650 and 1660 (so now you also have exclusive Wikipedia history information :-))))

First, we took a tour of the house, of course not without tasting the rum produced there. It wasn't delicious, but it was very exclusive (a bottle of rum can be bought for a mere 400 euros, ok, the rum is also 22 years old....).

Afterwards, we took a ride on the associated train. The owners have done a really great job and it's really worth a visit. The train ride takes about 20 minutes one way, then it stops briefly and you can take many great pictures at the CherryTree Hill viewpoint and of course we couldn't resist drinking a delicious coconut. While the train stops, it has to be turned 180 degrees to start the return journey. Many diligent helpers are needed for this. When we returned, we started the return trip and went back to a beautiful beach where we lay until sunset and took great pictures.

A wonderful day came to an end, once again wonderful and beautiful impressions on this day.

In this sense,

With love,

Your Vanessa and Katharina
