Barbados - Caribbean Pure

Pubblicato: 30.11.2018

After 5 eventful and yet active months in South America, it was time for some relaxation on the beach, specifically in the beautiful Caribbean. From Miami, our first stop was Barbados. However, I wouldn't be exploring the island alone, no, my best travel buddy, my sister Cat, had also made her way there.

Barbados is the easternmost island of the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean and is about the same size as Bremen, 36 km long and 24 km wide. In the east, you can find wild, rugged coves, and on the protected west side, the Caribbean dream beaches.

We spent the first week in a beautiful beachfront apartment away from the tourist hustle and bustle. With a rental car, we explored the entire island in surprisingly relaxed left-hand traffic. It took us through streets riddled with potholes, passing through small villages with colorful houses and sugarcane plantations, to beautiful little coves, sometimes calm and sophisticated, sometimes with wild waves. The Barbadians (mostly with dreadlocks) are a pretty relaxed and friendly bunch. Every Friday, the fishing village of Oistins holds Fish Friday. Tourists and locals come together here to eat the grilled catch of the day and drink the Barbadian beer Banks or rum punch. In addition, the Barbadians also celebrated their Independence Day on Friday (30th November), so there was quite a lot going on.

So far, we've had a great time on the island and have been able to enjoy the setting red sun of Barbados more than once. The clocks tick a little differently here; everyone seems to be simply relaxed. Barbados offers everything you would expect from a Caribbean island: dream beaches, turquoise water, sun, palm trees, rum, beer, coconuts, plenty of fish, and a relaxed rhythm...
