Barbados

Today, we visited beautiful Barbados! Our first stop was the Gun Hill Signal Station, used by the British to warn of escaped slaves or rebellious uprisings. Next, we visited the Tropical Botanical Gardens, where we saw numerous plants native to the island. Our final stop was the Sunbury Plantation, the home of the Mount Gay Rum Distillery.
