Hello dear ones,
today we drove to the east of the island, more precisely to Bathsheba. There were several things to see at once. First, we went to the famous spot, The Soup Bowl, which can be seen on almost every postcard from Barbados. It is an absolute hotspot for surfers from all over the world, even though we were the only people there that day... :-) I think there was just too much wind and the waves were huge. It's not fun to surf or go into the water.
Nevertheless, we really enjoyed our time there. We found a little swing in the middle of the sea, tied to a rock, and just let our souls dangle there for a while.
Later on, we went to the Barbados Wildlife Reserve. And let me tell you, it was quite a spectacle. There were loooooots of turtles, monkeys, and especially chickens. But the absolute highlight was the feeding of the animals at 2:30pm. We had never seen anything like it. A wheelbarrow full of food (mostly fruit and vegetable scraps) and the fight for food began. All the animals ran like crazy towards the mountain of food and helped themselves. The chickens were especially eager. But even the turtles suddenly moved at a speed that no one had ever seen... We had to be careful not to be overrun by any of the monkeys in all the commotion.
After this highlight, we started our journey back and stopped at a beautiful beach in the south to process the experiences a bit more.
And so, a beautiful day came to an end.
Best regards,
Love,
Your Vanessa and Katharina
