Day 5 in Barbados: Moving to the Ghetto, Historical Museum, Beach, and Delicious Dinner

Hello everyone,

This morning, moving to our new accommodation was on our agenda. Since our return flight, which was supposed to be today, didn't take place, we had to find a new place to stay. Unfortunately, we couldn't stay at our old accommodation, so we found another AirBnB. It looked wonderful in the pictures, it was newly built and up to date. But what we didn't know beforehand was WHERE the new accommodation was.

So we drove there and were initially a bit shocked because it was more precisely located in the middle of the ghetto. The garbage collection hadn't been there for a while and some of the other houses around only had one room and not even a front door (you could look straight into their bedroom/living or whatever room).

After the initial shock, we actually felt quite comfortable in the accommodation because besides a fenced area, we also had:

- two big guard dogs

- a guard cat, and

- a guard bull at the door!!

That reassured us and we were able to start our day well.

Today, we visited the Historical Museum of Barbados. Hmmm, what should we say. It was okay! Most of the rooms were closed due to renovations, and the other rooms showcased the history of Barbados. The funniest room was the last one, the playroom for children. You could do crafts there, learn about the environment, examine leaves with a microscope, and learn everything about spatial thinking.

We had a lot of fun and tried everything we could. We had a great time, but as it usually happens after a visit to the museum, we were really tired afterwards.

Of course, we had to eat our delicious cookies first and then we went to a beautiful beach to end the afternoon.

In the evening, we had dinner for the first time in a proper restaurant and took advantage of the cocktail happy hour twice :-))

The food was great and full as we were, we confidently returned to our accommodation in the ghetto and ended the evening on our 'terrace'.

In this spirit,

Take care

Your Vanessa and Katharina
