Happy Hours on Barbados

For the second week in Barbados, we had chosen a hotel closer to the center of the action. However, a day before moving to the new accommodation, we realized that someone, whose name will not be mentioned here, had made a mistake with the booking and we had not booked accommodation for one night. But not a big deal, there's always booking, so we quickly booked another hotel for the forgotten night.

Our new hotel, Yellow Bird, was located right at the beginning of the party strip, St. Lawrence Gap. On the way back from the beach in the afternoon, there were happy hours in some of the bars, so we had to make a stop every now and then. In the evenings, we only went from one happy hour to the next, just to end up at the end of the party strip participating in karaoke. And singing is not exactly our strength.

On the first day at our home beach, Dover Beach, we splashed around in the sea and could hardly believe our eyes. Turtles kept appearing in the water around us every now and then. So, in the following days, we always set out on the turtle patrol and simply drifted in the water for hours, hoping to spot more turtles.

When you're on an island like this, you also want to try a really typical dish. As we were strolling back to the hotel from the beach, we passed a grill stand. At first, we walked past it resolutely, but the delicious smell lured us back. They were serving pasta casserole, grilled chicken, and something that looked like a tasty currywurst. And the nice lady also said that it was a typical Barbadian dish. Only after I had already ordered the delicious 'currywurst', we took a closer look at it. Somehow, it didn't look so much like currywurst anymore, and didn't the lady say something about pigtail? When we cautiously asked again, it turned out that the sausage was actually pig tail. It took a bit of courage, but it actually tasted good.

So, the second week in Barbados mainly consisted of beach, pool, and a lot of cocktails...
